Giorgos Charalambous challenges the conventional understanding of a new left, drawing out continuities with earlier movements and parties. He examines the Long 68, the Global Justice Movement, and the rise of anti-austerity politics. Charalambous approaches the left through social movements and party politics, looking at identities, rhetoric, and organization, and assessing challenges for both activists and scholars. \u003c\/blockquote\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\\n                                                            \u003cstrong\u003eFormat\u003c\/strong\u003e: Paperback \/ softback\u003cbr\u003e\\n                              \u003cstrong\u003eLength\u003c\/strong\u003e: 368 pages\u003cbr\u003e\\n                              \u003cstrong\u003ePublication date\u003c\/strong\u003e: 20 December 2021\u003cbr\u003e\\n                              \u003cstrong\u003ePublisher\u003c\/strong\u003e: Pluto Press\u003cbr\u003e\\n                          \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eGiorgos Charalambous delves into the intricate dynamics of the European radical left, exploring its evolution through three pivotal periods: the late 1960s to late 1970s, the turn of the millennium, and post-2008. Challenging the conventional notion of a \"new left,\" he reveals the continuities and connections with earlier movements and parties. Charalambous examines the vibrant era of the Long 68, marked by the May uprisings in France, which witnessed the rise of new left forces and the critical scrutiny by younger radical activists of traditional communist and socialist parties. This period is juxtaposed with the transformative impact of the Global Justice Movement in the turn of the millennium, reshaping the international left's landscape. Additionally, he analyzes the aftermath of the 2008 financial crisis and the emergence of anti-austerity politics, which sparked the rise of new left parties like Podemos in Spain and Syriza in Greece.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThrough a unique two-level perspective, Charalambous delves into the social movements and party politics of the left, examining identities, rhetoric, and organization. He offers a fresh and innovative approach to radical history, while also addressing the challenges faced by activists and scholars alike. This comprehensive study sheds light on the complex and evolving nature of the European radical left, providing valuable insights into its past, present, and potential future.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\\n                            \u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 366g\\n                            \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 136 x 215 x 30 (mm)\\n                            \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9780745340524\\n                            \\n                          \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Giorgos Charalambous","offers":[{"title":"Paperback \/ softback","offer_id":44101326536954,"sku":"9780745340524","price":20.52,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/products\/67d0334aa8cec9842136e2623b1af29c.jpg?v=1641266942","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/european-radical-left-movements-and-parties-since-the-1960s","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
