global crisis, multidimensional and dramatic and inhuman consequences, today represent the worst and greatest enemy of democracy acting. In the world of neoliberal global time, post Cold War Fall of the Berlin Wall, liberal democracy representative on the world stage fight against democracy itself. The only political opponent in the last two decades of democracy is democracy itself. Proposals and alternatives to the global crisis have been and are many, but neither has the ability to at least provide a safe road, and all this mess "academic" political, technocratic, passes a wrong analysis of the global crisis. For neoliberals and global powers that is one crisis: financial and economic alternative is an invaluable set of proposals, even the criminal which is finished, complete with the social rights of the general population. For us there are three global crises and the output is multidimensional and a single in Democracy. Today protectionism pose via the forward-looking nationalism, consolidating the domestic market, stimulate local economies, strengthen the rights of workers and begin developing a better quality of life. Herein lies the true local power of the new local civil society, citizenship and participatory democracy.

Progressive Journal. Sunday March 27, 2011. Josu Gómez Barron bad times certainly live for poetry, dark weather of challenges in the long shadow of the global economic crisis has created an effect of pessimism and sit-down between much of the citizenry, not The surveys determine a clear positioning of the company is unable to see a solution to a systemic crisis in my opinion has shown something many times and referenced by different authors and intellectuals of the world: The Weakening of the State against the economic power.
extremely serious and this has been accompanied by a constant protection that we are citizens convicted of a so-called "markets" that consist of small round tables in London or New York determine that is what should or should not do, which cuts the rights of citizens should or should not be carried out by states in pursuit of global economic stability. Curious at least see who were the "bandits" of the global economy are now giving their rules and guidelines to the states, unable to cope with such a supranational political and economic realities in a global world where if costipa Europe Japan Sneeze. /////
thus is established a clash in my opinion between two models of globalization and global governance, advocated by a progressive thinking for a fair globalization, strengthened state and public system in pursuit of equality among citizens or actions as ensuring the primacy of law and control of migration, strengthening international cooperation to improve living conditions, economic and social conditions in the sending countries, and develop a clear immigration policy that provides for rights and obligations of migrants and compared this model of global society this neoliberal thinking - on the rise today, in which the economy sent over the rights and freedoms and where public systems are blurred garantistas coup nut measures as "budgetary control, which basically measures carries with it the collapse of the overriding principle of equality in democracies principle that allows citizens have the opportunity to have their old conquests reached as education or public health among others.
.
Ultimately it is the state model that is at stake in the aftermath of a century full of new challenges to be faced now played by the generations born in the shelter of Democracy we have before us the duty and responsibility of our active participation, and is at least curious to see how the "blackout" and the "alignment of content" offered the TV stations in countries like Spain or Italy might seek to demobilize by the new culture dummy makes personal problems Belén Esteban or frames are Big Brother for generations of young people in our country of more interest than the conflict in Libya or labor reform. .
At this point there is no doubt that there are two key from thinking should be progressive in value as key elements to address the situation that the present and the future will bring to our democracy, on one hand the strengthening of civil society, an active civil society free, independent and demanding , a society that should serve as a counterweight to the traditional powers of the state against the deviations from them could make in relation to the exercise of its responsibilities, the quality of a democracy it is more on the basis of the existence of a therefore civil society in the terms described above. .
it is converted in this way in a safeguard and an active guard's own democratic development, or is that perhaps it was largely thanks to such civil society committed our own transition to democracy or not was less in the movements that raised their voices to say No to War.
.
Today, however, witnessed a stagnation of a lack of commitment and involvement in the new generations Youth, generations of university students who are mobilized around big bottles or football matches of the English in South Africa world but mostly away from the active involvement of the social and political participation, tools for Thus since the civil society must not only meet the challenges of this new time but to continue to maintain the rights and freedoms that previous generations have managed to work, effort and commitment. .
Or Does anyone think that the rights we enjoy today are the result of a summer afternoon ? . And at this lack commitment discussed above and in my view a virtual absence of an active civil society, we study from causes progressive thinking that has led us to this. Here I believe are several causes and several solutions. .
clear Causes: lack of political participation and alienation of this society, the lack of an active and independent civil society, the lack of an educational model that has as its guiding principle education in the commitment or the existence of communication models through the mass media to forge new generations of young people in values away from the commitment, effort, or the values \u200b\u200bof solidarity, practical solutions: the implementation of a model of political parties open to the public and participatory democratic processes within it that enable the real participation and free of who wish to contribute their time and effort in building a just society, free and equal, strong support for the activation and independence of civil society and the ongoing work of this network and the public and private construction projects in common and the rethinking of the educational model at all levels are only some of those solutions from thought Progressives need to get going. .
It should be pointed here importance of Education, the firm commitment to refocus the same, because not only is education that is formed on the basis of content but also assimilation that forces men and women in democratic engagement, the subject of citizenship education is a first step no doubt but I firmly believe that there should be others, such as our universities should be places for reflection and commitment to values \u200b\u200beducation not only knowledge and the construction of full citizens in the meaning of the word citizenship, the enhancement of creativity and criticism are other values \u200b\u200bfrom our public education ought to value and equally constant public investment in educational infrastructure to enable the development of this education everyone and not just a few, it is this fundamental element forging democracies and it is this that determines the temperature of our present and our roadmap. *****
