    This Special Forum grows from a collective effort to assess the deep
    changes underway in the world in a dialogue between specific
    struggles on the ground to defend rights and territories and the
    dynamics of the global trends that impact on them all. Behind what
    can look like fragmented battles and constructions, we hypothesize,
    there is an increasingly consolidated common struggle and vision,
    just as a mosaic is composed of separate pieces that are unified
    into a composition. Based on exchanges in a workshop in Siena in
    October 2018, the Forum aims at putting together some of the pieces
    of the mosaic. The Introduction reviews other recent efforts towards
    convergence, looking at two related dimensions: sharing ideas and
    analysis in order to develop a common understanding of what is going
    on in the world, and bringing people together to take transformative
    action by building shared spaces, alliances and campaigns. The Siena
    workshop and the People’s Sovereignty process that has grown from it
    are situated in this broader context. The five articles that compose
    the Forum, built in dialogue between social movement, academic and
    civil society activists, are experiments in co-production of
    understanding, each of which takes forward a theme that aroused
    particular interest at Siena. Their special characteristic is the
    fact that they are the result of an exchange between experiences on
    the ground and a more theoretical lens, so the issues are discussed
    as they relate to concrete struggles. Additional articles on other
    themes will be coming.

    *The People´s Sovereignty network* is a collective and inclusive
    space open to communities, movements, organizations and people who
    are engaged in resisting corporate violence and constructing
    people’s sovereignty. The aim is to help build more and stronger
    links among social movements with different entry points to the same
    struggle and more effective and respectful collaboration between
    them and engaged academics. The network’s activities are
    collectively managed by the people who engage to carry them forward.
    Among these is a Web Lab, a space where social movement, civil
    society and academic activists can share experiences and ideas,
    undertake collective analyses, develop concepts, strategies and
    activities and engage with other existing solidarity networks and
    initiatives.
