Celebrating New Agenda 100
In a world upended by war, genocide, climate catastrophes, pandemics, and dangerously unpredictable and autocratic leaders, the challenge is to seek creative ways to a new world order. New Agenda is primed to do exactly that. Its mission is to promote alternative ideas for social, ecological, and economic transformation. We aim to provide high-quality pertinent information and analysis for government, academia and civil society and bring solid, policy-relevant research to the public in an accessible and intelligible form. We celebrate the 100th issue of the journal; the best is yet to come.
