How demagogues destroy democracy
Disappointment and bitterness, mixed with envy and a desperate hope for a better future, are the night soil in which demagogues are hatched. But despite their populist bluster, demagogues are saboteurs of democracy, driven by an urge to ditch and destroy the checks and balances vital to restraining abuses of power. Unless checked, demagogues are the harbingers of a new, 21st-century form of despotism: a corrupted, phantom democracy in which perio…

Politics in Spain
Analysing the current political context in Spain is a major challenge to political theory. Spain is experiencing the accumulation of trends that in recent years have focused the attention of most theorists and political scientists: discrediting of the major parties, falling numbers of party members, disaffection, etc. In parallel, this trend has been accompanied by citizen mobilisations that, since 15 May 2011, are manifest in numerous channels a…
Silence and Catastrophe
Megaprojects are systems of highly concentrated power whose footprints, or radius of effects, are without precedent in human history. Once upon a time, even under imperial conditions, most people on our planet lived and loved, worked and played within geographically limited communities. They never had to reckon with all of humanity as a factor in their daily lives. Whenever they acted recklessly within their environment, for instance, they had th…
Secularism
Public Life in the Era of Communicative Abundance
Modern communications media since the invention of the printing press have been dominated by images of scarcity. In contrast, the emergence of a new galaxy of communications marked by the (potential) integration of text, sounds, and images, interacting in the same system from multiple user points, in chosen time (real or delayed) within a modularized and ultimately global network that is affordable and accessible, is now stimulating the growth of…

Structural transformations of the public sphere
We are living in times in which spatial frameworks of communication are in a state of upheaval. The old hegemony of state‐structured and territorially‐bound public life mediated by radio, television, newspapers and books is being rapidly eroded. In its place are developing a multiplicity of networked spaces of communication which are not tied immediately to territory, and which irreversibly fragment anything resembling a single, spatially‐integra…
Democracy and the Media — Without Foundations
In exploring whether or not the free and equal communication of citizens is a feasible ideal at the end of the twentieth century, this article presents a new account of the importance of the media to democracy. It offers a revised interpretation of the public service model of communications, in a risk-ridden society, and spells out the implications of these arguments for conventional views of democracy. After considering and rejecting foundationa…
Nomads of the Present
The Politics of Retreat
All the past history of the world testifies against the immortality of state power, and the earth is covered with the ruins of the fallen. [J ohann K. B luntschli , Lehre vom modernen Stat (1875).]
The Polish Laboratory
Warsaw. Wednesday December 7th. The eighth anniversary of martial law approaches. Foul-smelling fog blankets the city. The battered Russian-made taxi which fetches me from the airport clatters down potholed roads. Rows of grey apartment blocks stand guard, frozen, expressionless. Trams whirr and clang through street crowds. Fur-capped shoppers
Citizenship and the Freedom of the Media
Full employment or post-employment? A rejoinder by Mike Rustin to, 'The political dangers of a statutory right to work
Contradictions of the Welfare State
Claus Offe is one of the leading social scientists working in Germany today, and his work, particularly on the welfare state, has been enormously influential both in Europe and the United States. Contradictions of the Welfare State is the first collection of Offe's essays to appear in a single volume in English, and it contains a selection of his most important recent work on the breakdown of the post-war settlement. The political writings in thi…
Contradictions of the Welfare State.
The full employment illusion
This is a summary and continuation of an important debate begun at the last CSP conference in Sheffield. Drawing on their recent book, 'After Full Employment' (reviewed in this issue), John Keane and John Owens argue that a return to the post-war policy of full male employment is neither feasible nor desirable. They propose instead the redistribution of work together with a guaranteed income for all. Michael Rustin disputes all this. Full employm…

On Tools and Language
The very title of Habermas' most recent work in English Toward a Reconstruction of Materialism, should not be surprising. For the reconstitution and revitalization of Marxist theory in the context of altered socio-historical conditions is predicated by the very core of that theory itself. With its dialectic of subject and object, Marxism is subject to alterations in the form and content of both its theory and practice. Theory attempts to understa…

On Belaboring the Theory of Economic Crisis
Laska's reply to Jiirgen Habermas' discussion of Marx's theory of economic crisis and labor theory of value I reflects two major developments in current Marxist thought: growing European and North American interest in whole corpus of 20th-century critical theory, especially that of Habermas; and secondly, amid a period of international economic uncertainty, a concern over validity of classical Marxist theory of economic crisis. Laska's argument i…
