The <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/search?q=%23PGS19&amp;src=typd\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">#PGS<\/a> is unique in that it combines party-political networking and leaders forums with policy input from leading public intellectuals.

In the United States, a nationalist demagogue has captured one of the major parties \u2013 and the White House. In Europe, nationalist movements are set to make further gains in May\u2019s upcoming European elections, continuing to elbow aside once-dominant mass political parties and upend the liberal order. As a result of an apparent inability to channel the Zeitgeist, progressive parties on both sides of the Atlantic find themselves out of power, with many in disarray.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<div class=\"BorlabsCookie _brlbs-cb-twitter\"><div class=\"_brlbs-content-blocker\"> <div class=\"_brlbs-embed _brlbs-twitter\"> <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"_brlbs-thumbnail\" src=\"https:\/\/www.progressives-zentrum.org\/en\/wp-content\/plugins\/borlabs-cookie\/assets\/images\/cb-twitter.png\" alt=\"Twitter\"> <div class=\"_brlbs-caption\"> <p>By loading the tweet, you agree to Twitter&#8217;s privacy policy.<br><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/privacy\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">Learn more<\/a><\/p> <p><a class=\"_brlbs-btn\" href=\"#\" data-borlabs-cookie-unblock role=\"button\">Load tweet<\/a><\/p> <p><label><input type=\"checkbox\" name=\"unblockAll\" value=\"1\" checked> <small>Always unblock Twitter Tweets<\/small><\/label><\/p> <\/div> <\/div> <\/div><div class=\"borlabs-hide\" data-borlabs-cookie-type=\"content-blocker\" data-borlabs-cookie-id=\"twitter\"><script type=\"text\/template\">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<\/script><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The challenges that progressive parties across Europe and North America now face include stale themes and ideas; older leaders and legacy coalitions of interests that are out of touch with younger generations; and a misguided focus on propping up the status quo instead of embracing a political paradigm shift. To many, they have ceased to be credible agents of political innovation and social progress on topics that hugely matter to voters, including far-reaching structural changes in the economy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While the challenges facing progressives in today\u2019s interdependent world are immense, so are the possibilities for change. We see an imperative for progressives to act by advocating a paradigm shift to a more sustainable and inclusive economy. There are no easy answers for how this can be achieved. But the experiences of the past decade\u2019s financial crisis have shown that a systemic change will require giving people a greater voice in making political decisions and in creating an economic system that is built on empowerment and fairness, not exclusion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Watch the Progressive Governance Symposium\u2019s video recap<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<div class=\"BorlabsCookie _brlbs-cb-youtube\"><div class=\"_brlbs-content-blocker\"> <div class=\"_brlbs-embed _brlbs-video-youtube\"> <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"_brlbs-thumbnail\" src=\"https:\/\/www.progressives-zentrum.org\/en\/wp-content\/plugins\/borlabs-cookie\/assets\/images\/cb-no-thumbnail.png\" alt=\"YouTube\"> <div class=\"_brlbs-caption\"> <p>By loading the video, you agree to YouTube&#8217;s privacy policy.<br><a href=\"https:\/\/policies.google.com\/privacy?hl=en&amp;gl=en\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">Learn more<\/a><\/p> <p><a class=\"_brlbs-btn _brlbs-icon-play-white\" href=\"#\" data-borlabs-cookie-unblock role=\"button\">Load video<\/a><\/p> <p><label><input type=\"checkbox\" name=\"unblockAll\" value=\"1\" checked> <small>Always unblock YouTube<\/small><\/label><\/p> <\/div> <\/div> <\/div><div class=\"borlabs-hide\" data-borlabs-cookie-type=\"content-blocker\" data-borlabs-cookie-id=\"youtube\"><script type=\"text\/template\">PGlmcmFtZSB0aXRsZT0iVGhpcyB3YXMgdGhlIFByb2dyZXNzaXZlIEdvdmVybmFuY2UgU3ltcG9zaXVtIDIwMTkiIHdpZHRoPSIxNDAwIiBoZWlnaHQ9Ijc4OCIgc3JjPSJodHRwczovL3d3dy55b3V0dWJlLW5vY29va2llLmNvbS9lbWJlZC82SVQxOHdvRF9Xcz9mZWF0dXJlPW9lbWJlZCIgZnJhbWVib3JkZXI9IjAiIGFsbG93PSJhY2NlbGVyb21ldGVyOyBhdXRvcGxheTsgY2xpcGJvYXJkLXdyaXRlOyBlbmNyeXB0ZWQtbWVkaWE7IGd5cm9zY29wZTsgcGljdHVyZS1pbi1waWN0dXJlIiBhbGxvd2Z1bGxzY3JlZW4+PC9pZnJhbWU+<\/script><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>The conversation and insights of #PGS19<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>8 sessions<\/li><li>4 plenary debates<\/li><li>2 public panel discussions<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>During the summit, participants discussed the imperative for progressives around the world to reinvigorate their policies and politics in the face of resurgent right-wing populism.

Solidarity is nowhere in this story.\u201d Right-wing populists\u2019 account of solidarity \u2013 nationalism, cohesion, and tradition \u2013 could be a factor in their recent success. To stimulate solidarity and renew hierarchical legitimacy, <strong>Taylor <\/strong>said, representative democracy is not sufficient in and of itself \u2013- progressives need to find new ways to rebuild popular faith in governments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Taylor <\/strong>was the first of many of the day\u2019s speakers to underscore the need for structural change. \u201cThe public understands you can\u2019t tinker,\u201d he said. \u201cWe need missions,\u201d which could include confronting climate change, making sure technological advances work for social good, and initiating an \u201cemotionally intelligent\u201d discussion about economic redistribution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<div class=\"BorlabsCookie _brlbs-cb-twitter\"><div class=\"_brlbs-content-blocker\"> <div class=\"_brlbs-embed _brlbs-twitter\"> <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"_brlbs-thumbnail\" src=\"https:\/\/www.progressives-zentrum.org\/en\/wp-content\/plugins\/borlabs-cookie\/assets\/images\/cb-twitter.png\" alt=\"Twitter\"> <div class=\"_brlbs-caption\"> <p>By loading the tweet, you agree to Twitter&#8217;s privacy policy.<br><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/privacy\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">Learn more<\/a><\/p> <p><a class=\"_brlbs-btn\" href=\"#\" data-borlabs-cookie-unblock role=\"button\">Load tweet<\/a><\/p> <p><label><input type=\"checkbox\" name=\"unblockAll\" value=\"1\" checked> <small>Always unblock Twitter Tweets<\/small><\/label><\/p> <\/div> <\/div> <\/div><div class=\"borlabs-hide\" data-borlabs-cookie-type=\"content-blocker\" data-borlabs-cookie-id=\"twitter\"><script type=\"text\/template\">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<\/script><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Exploring Common Priorities<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Throughout the symposium, topical breakout sessions investigated these unifying missions in greater depth. Regarding climate change, <strong>Paul Bledsoe<\/strong> of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.progressivepolicy.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Progressive Policy Institute<\/a> (USA) said progressives too often \u201cwrongly silo\u201d the challenge as a sideline issue. <strong>Maja G\u00f6pel<\/strong>, Secretary-General for the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wbgu.de\/en\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">German Advisory Council on Global Change<\/a> and Policy Fellow at Das Progressive Zentrum, said that spending to confront climate change should be considered an investment, and moreover, a \u201crational risk-management strategy.\u201d On the need to share the benefits of big tech more widely, <strong>Isaac Stanley <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nesta.org.uk\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">(Nesta)\u00a0<\/a>emphasised that progressives should not only address structural changes to work such as automation but also \u201cmake sure citizens have access\u201d to the newest technology.

French politician <strong>Corinne Narassiguin<\/strong>, a member of the Socialist Party, said progressives need a common agenda on global issues, one that fosters values of \u201csolidarity, humanism, and basic human rights.\u201d That view earned support from former Spanish Secretary of State for the European Union and Vice-President of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fundacionalternativas.org\/\">Fundaci\u00f3n Alternativas<\/a>\u00a0<strong>Diego L\u00f3pez Garrido<\/strong>, who argued: \u201cWe need internationalism more than ever because we are affected by what happens outside of our borders more than ever.
