The Progressive Governance Summit 2024 (#PGS24) will make an impactful contribution to shaping a comprehensive concept of progressive security. To create momentum to turn it into political action, #PGS24 will concentrate on three focus points. First, progressives must claim a space and gain credibility in a discourse on military security that to this day is dominated by conservatives. This may be done by an approach to defence, security and foreign policy that is principled in freedom, human security, multilateralism and a strong commitment to tackle the climate crisis. Second, social and economic policies must prioritize collective solidarity over individualism in order to address the grievances felt by many.
One will only be safe if those around you are and feel safe, thereby countering right-wing narratives of exclusive security which is only reserved for certain groups. This includes the guarantee of fair wages and working conditions, social and physical infrastructure, affordable housing and energy, universal access to health care and an economic model that respects the planetary boundaries. Third, by addressing the multifaceted anxieties of today’s electorate, progressives can present a comprehensive, inclusive vision of security that resonates with a broad range of voters. This reimagined security concept offers opportunities for progressive electoral campaigning to connect with voters’ day-to-day concerns and build international progressive value-based alliances after the elections in 2024 and 2025.
