| | | Polaris Institute
Polaris is designed to enables citizen movements to re-skill and retool themselves to fight for democratic social change in an age of corporate-driven globalization. Essentially, the institute works with citizen movements in developing the kinds of strategies and tactics required to unmask and challenge the corporate power that is the driving force behind governments concerning public policy making on economic, social and environmental issues. Director Tony Clarke, co-author of Chapter 2 ("The Lords of Water”) and Chapter 7 (“Evian Backward is naive”), has joined with Maude Barlow to publish several books on the global water crisis. 312 Cooper Street
