Anti-Systemic Movements

Peerless examination of the rise of social movements against the global capitalist system.

Peerless examination of the rise of social movements against the global capitalist system, conducted by the leading exponents of the "world systems" perspective

Description

Building on an analysis of the dissenting movements to have emerged since the rise of modern capitalism, Anti-Systemic Movements uncovers an international groundswell of resistance still vitally active at the end of the twentieth century.

The authors suggest that the new assertiveness of the South, the development of class struggle in the East, and the emergence of rainbow coalitions in various regions hold fresh promise for emancipatory politics.

Taking the year 1968 as a symbolic turning point, the authors argue that new anti-systemic movements have arisen which challenge the logic of the capitalist world-system.
