Beschreibung

Paperback, 286 Pages.- The resurgence of social movements in recent years has put the question of strategy back on the left's agenda. This volume of the Socialist Register surveys some of the most explosive mobilizations around the worldthe light of new challenges and new opportunities. Socialists today have to confront two realities: that they cannot avoid the question of reforms and a gradualist path out of capitalism, and that the organizational vehicles for socialism will most likely have to abide by different structures and principles than those that dominated left politics in the 20th century.
