Produktbeschreibung

How are radical left movements influenced by the political and social contexts in which they are situated? In most European countries, the fall of state socialism contributed to a general shift in the composition of the radical left, often marginalizing traditional communist groups, while the libertarian radical left has tended to grow in importance. Different national and regional experiences of what 'left' and 'radical left' means continue to shape such movements' possibilities to mobilize, seek political allies and accomplish change. This book provides detailed analysis of these differences, and shows how radical left movements in different countries cope with these varying circumstances.
