This issue of the SUR Journal features essays on crackdowns on civil society around the world as well as the strategies activists are implementing to combat against such efforts. More specifically, the topics addressed in the issue include 1) the role of the private sector in relation to such crackdowns and its convergence of interests – and even collusion – with repressive governments; 2) the role of the Global North in causing the crackdown, including the part played by increasingly populist and nationalistic tendencies in the region; 3) the importance for civil society activists to work in coalitions and alliances, and much more.
