About this title

Synopsis

As we enter a new century, has it got harder for revolutions to occur in a world of far-flung corporations and commodity chains, global cultural forms, instantaneous communication, and a new unipolar system of power?

In this volume, a number of eminent historians, sociologists and political scientists who have spent their lives studying revolutionary processes reflect on and debate this question.

Their reflections constitute a state of the art assessment of the conditioning factors shaping the likely incidence and possible new forms of radical political change in the era of globalization.
