Daniel Drache
Professeur émérite, York University
Lens : My work focuses on mapping and documenting the complexities of globalisation at a time of unparalleled inequality. Through active public engagement, community and critical expression we can change the global narrative in alternative and dynamic directions. You will find here many research projects on social transformation, collaborations, books, academic articles, contemporary videos spanning 50 years of critical theoretical and practical research.
Deliverables : I’ve researched and written on various topics from an interdisciplinary perspective such as : global governance and the WTO (with particular focus on public health, the breakdown of the Doha Round negotiations and poverty eradication) ; NAFTA and North American integration ; activist counterpublics and the iconography of dissent ; the foundational political economy of Harold Innis and contemporary resource capitalism, and present-day media monitoring such as Canada’s Missing and Murdered Aboriginal Women.
Future Present : Currently I am leading a collaborative research project on the BRI, China’s global infrastructural initiative. It is now published by Bloomsbury, 2019, One Road Many Dreams China’s Bold Plan to Remake the Global Economy. My latest project with Marc Froese is entitled, Have the Populists Won ? The War on Liberal Democracy, ECW, 2022.
