The author argues that the vital dynamics of anarchism and social movements need to be combined with a reappraisal of the Communist party and state. While cynicism towards capitalism and existing political institutions is plentiful, this book argues that the Left appears mired in a reactive politics of resistance, unable to formulate programmes for substantive social change.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDrawing insights from the history of the Left, political economy, contemporary critical theory and an in-depth study of Occupy, the author provides concrete suggestions as to how the Left might 'claim the twenty-first century' and realise a more equitable social order. \u003ci\u003eSocial Movements and Democracy in the 21st Century \u003c\/i\u003e challenges activists and scholars to rethink social movements and political organisation, and to actively work towards enduring social change. The book will be of interest to students and scholars of social movement studies, Left theory, critical theory, political sociology and Marxism, as well as anyone with an interest in 'political change'.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Dylan Taylor\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 3319819402\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783319819402\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Palgrave MacMillan\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/12\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 290\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.80lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.27h x 5.83w x 0.64d","brand":"Dylan Taylor","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44125968335103,"sku":"9783319819402","price":99.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_2a90d4df-8cbd-4eb0-a7de-8b409f660287.jpg?v=1687445566","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/social-movements-and-democracy-in-dylan-taylor-9783319819402","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
