Alternative Societies
Alternative Societies
Bringing together a wide range of approaches and new strands of economic and social thinking from across the US, Asia, Mexico, Latin America, Europe, Middle East and Africa, this book critically assesses the alternatives to capitalism, learning lessons from them and shows the ways forward with a convincing argument of pluralist socialism.

Alternative Societies
Alternative Societies
The book goes beyond analysis and critique of current society to look at alternative societies - in theory and practice, internationally, what they could be, and their real possibilities. It looks at a wide range of alternatives from communism to co-ops and participatory communities, a slower society with less work, eco-localism, digital alternatives, alternative education, communal alternatives to the family, food counterculture and freeganism, …
The Third Way and beyond
work policies, for instance.As Goes notes (chapter 6), this often means establishing minimum opportunities, or sufficiency, rather than equality of opportunity.Nevertheless, it signals something different from the Right's offering -an emphatic role for government in tackling poverty and exclusion.What is more, this approach does not see economic efficiency and such social justice as in conflict -a Third Way favours not one or the other but argues…

Utopianism and social change
This article discusses criticisms that utopia and utopianism undermine social change. It outlines two types of utopia, future and current. It argues against claims that utopianism is idealist and steps aside from material and conflictual dimensions of society and so undermines change, proposing that utopias are material and conflictual and contribute to change. Against liberal and pluralist criticisms that utopianism is end-ist and totalitarian a…
Austerity, globalisation and alternatives
Este artigo sustenta que austeridade não é algo necessário ou externamente determinado, mas um projeto de classe ativo e uma escolha ideológica de elites e dos poderosos. Há alternativas à austeridade. Uma delas baseia-se em igualdade e em direitos sociais e econômicos. Outras envolvem a reestruturação do trabalho para uma sociedade baseada no trabalho precariamente remunerado, e a liberdade de movimento em uma sociedade global de fronteiras aber…
Cosmopolitanism and Global Politics
This article discusses whether global politics are the best means for achieving cosmopolitan ends. It distinguishes the cosmopolitan goal of global obligations from the cosmopolitan politics of global governance. Evidence for cosmopolitanism in society and culture is not strong. In global politics states pursue their own material interests rather than cosmopolitan goals. Copenhagen and the financial crisis did not lead to global cosmopolitan poli…
The Sociology of Globalization
This accessible and wide-ranging book demonstrates the distinctive insights that sociology has to bring to the study of globalization. Taking in the cultural, political and economic dimensions of globalization, the book provides a thorough introduction to key debates and critically evaluates the causes and consequences of a globalizing world. In addition to topics such as America's changing position in the world under President Obama, the growth …
Global Inequality, Human Rights and Power
This article is a critique of Ulrich Beck's advocacy of a cosmopolitan approach to global inequality and human rights. It is argued that cosmopolitanism does not bring a new and unique perspective on global inequality. In fact Beck's proposals on migration would reinforce inequality and anti-cosmopolitanism. It is argued that his 'both/and' perspective on hybridization and contextual universalism is undermined by inequality, conflict and power th…
Britain and Globalization
Many perspectives on globalization see it as differentiated in its effects and reception, culturally driven, either pre-modern or postmodern, best captured by globalist or sceptical perspectives, and an equalizing phenomenon. This article discusses the British experience of globalization in the light of such approaches and argues that looking at this case gives an alternative view. Six themes on globalization are explored across four areas of the…
Beck's cosmopolitan politics
This article evaluates Ulrich Beck's cosmopolitan global politics. I argue that areas where Beck sees bases for communal and cosmopolitan politics are structured by power, inequality and conflict. Beck has a conflict perspective on local responses to globalization but this is not carried through to his global politics. There are issues that need to be tackled at a global level but I argue that this will have to be done on the basis of conflicting…
The Third Wave in Globalization Theory
This essay examines a proposition made in the literature that there are three waves in globalization theory—the globalist, skeptical, and postskeptical or transformational waves—and argues that this division requires a new look. The essay is a critique of the third of these waves and its relationship with the second wave. Contributors to the third wave not only defend the idea of globalization from criticism by the skeptics but also try to constr…
New Labour, Work and the Family
New Labour has put support for the family at the core of its notion of the “strong community”. Across a range of policy areas the Labour government can be seen to be developing a direct and explicit family policy. But what kind of community is the government trying to shape by these policies? On the one hand, Labour appears to support the family as the basis of a more moral, dutiful and cohesive community. On the other hand, the government has gi…
From Old Labour to New Labour
In a critique of our book New Labour, David Rubinstein has argued that we exaggerate the degree of difference between Old and New Labour and underplay the similarities. In this article we agree with many of the continuities that Rubinstein outlines. However, we argue that he himself gives plenty of evidence in favour of our thesis that change has been marked in many policy areas. We argue that we give a good account of the wider social factors th…

Left, Right and the third way
English New Labour claims to have discovered a third way between Old Left and New Right, with policy implications that break with established debates and policy alternatives. But what does the third way actually mean in terms of values and its approach to policy? We argue in this article that Labour’s third way does not transcend Old Left and New Right. Left and Right remain important markers for contemporary policy and politics but the third way…
New Labour's communitarianisms
This article argues that communitarianism can be analysed on different levels—sociological, ethical and meta—ethical—and along different di mensions—conformist—pluralist, more conditional-less conditional, progressive-conservative, prescriptive-voluntary, moral-socioeconomic and individual-corporate. We argue that New Labour's communitarian ism is a response to both neo-liberalism and old social democracy. It is sociological, ethical and universa…

Rescuing the middle ground
This paper replies to Peter Saunders' critique of my ‘New ideas of socialism’ and takes the debate further by clarifying my advocacy of ‘associational socialism’ and making a more general critique of neo-liberalism. The combination of decentralization and co-operative co-ordination envisaged in the idea of associationalism’ is defended and clarified. It is argued that repression is not necessarily inherent in socialist ends. Libertarians are seen…
New ideas of socialism
This paper discusses attempts to rethink socialism in the light of recent economic, social and political developments such as the rise of neo-liberalism, post-fordism, the demise of state socialism and globalization. It posits four new revisionist models of socialism - individualist socialism, market socialism, citizenship (or radical democratic) socialism and associational socialism. It examines each critically, arguing against the first and sec…
Social Democracy
How are the policies, meaning and ideology of social democracy changing and what is the context for this change? To what extent are social democratic parties converging or diverging according to national traditions? What criticism are there of recent social democracy and what alternatives exist? This book offers a distinctive approach to answering these questions. By drawing on a wide range of political and ideological perspectives, the contribut…
