How successful are social movements and left parties at achieving
social and political change? How, if at all, can movements and parties
work together to challenge existing hierarchies? Is the political left
witnessing a revival in contemporary politics? This book highlights
some of the key achievements of left parties and protest movements in
their goal of challenging different types of inequality – and
considers the ways in which their challenge to authority and power
could be intensified. It combines new theoretical ideas with rich
empirical detail on the debates and concrete activities undertaken by
left parties and protest movements over a broad historical period,
from the early European labour movement to the recent anti-austerity
global protests. The book will offer unique insight into the broad
history and theory of emancipatory politics; as well as making an
important contribution to ongoing debates between left-leaning
academics, researchers and activists.
