How should today's left intervene on the international stage?

An anthology of editorials from New Left Review

Description

Since the turn of the century, New Left Review has published a score of editorials on contemporary world politics, each departing from conventional positions. This collection brings together a selection of NLR's interventions in these years of US unipolarity and late-capitalist boom and bust, the War on Terror and the rise of China, the asymmetrical recovery from the financial crisis, and the fraught politics of the energy transition.

Bookended by surveys reviewing the broader political-intellectual conjuncture in which the journal is publishing, they examine both the ideas and the on-the-ground operations of liberal-internationalist rule, from the Middle East peace process to the new cold war. The collection analyses the character of the EU and the record of Obama, the meaning of Donald Trump, and the explanation for Brexit.

Furthermore, it tracks counter-movements from street to ballot box, from the Arab Spring to Corbyn, Sanders, and Podemos.
