State of Power

Fascism and the far right are on the rise. TNI's State of Power report in 2026 looks behind the news headlines at the underlying reasons for their rise, the economic interests that support them, the ways they weaponise today' s social and ecological crises for their benefit and proposals on how we can fight back. The Transnational Institute (TNI) carries out cutting-edge analysis on critical global issues, builds alliances with grassroots social movements, develops proposals for a more sustainable and just world. An annual series of essays published by Transnational Institute that examines power and resistance in a globalised world.

Geopolitical rivalry is reshaping our planet as reactionary nationalists take power and global tensions mount. TNI's 13th State of Power report explores whether this is the end of US imperialism and the beginning of a Chinese empire, the way nationalism is reshaping neoliberal globalisation, and the implications of a shifting global order for the vast majority of the world and for social movements fighting for justice.
