Dimitrios Roussopoulos is an editor, writer and economist, who has written widely on international politics, and social change.

The resurgence of nationalism accompanying the decline of Communism has been taken to indicate the failure of socialist theory to grasp the nature of this phenomenon. Against both those who argue that the radical tradition has ignored and underestimated nationalism and those who accuse it of economic reductionism, this careful analysis of the idea of the nation as it was developed in the work of the major thinkers of the international labor movement reveals evidence of how seriously they grappled with nationalism.

Each of the main sections of the book focuses on the most influential theorists of the international labor movement as it became organized and grew: Bakunin, Marx, and Engels and the concern of the First International (1864-1876) with class solidarity across political borders; Lenin, Luxemburg, and Bauer and the preoccupation of the Second International (1889-1914) with socialism in ethnically plural societies; Stalin and Gramsci in relation to the substitution by the Third International (1919-1943) of nation-building and national liberation for the old class project.

In the conclusion, the author examines the relationships among ethnic and civic nationality, national self-determination, republican institutions, and the process of globalization from the perspective of the post-Soviet era and in the light of social theory and Kant's ideas about cosmopolitan right.

In this work, Buber expounds upon and defends the Zionist experiment - a federal system of communities on a co-operative basis. He looks to the anarchists Proudhon, Kropotkin and Gustav Landauer, but selects only that part of their doctrines appropriate to his case.

Brings together some of the best writings of Chomsky, Bookchin, Woodcock, and Castoriadis in one volume.

The Bloomsbury Companion to Anarchism is a comprehensive reference work to support research in anarchism. The book considers the different approaches to anarchism as an ideology and explains the development of anarchist studies from the early twentieth century to the present day. It is unique in that it highlights the relationship between theory and practice, pays special attention to methodology, presents non-English works, key terms and concepts, and discusses new directions for the field. Focusing on the contemporary movement, the work outlines significant shifts in the study of anarchist ideas and explores recent debates. The Companion will appeal to scholars in this growing field, whether they are interested in the general study of anarchism or in more specific areas. Featuring the work of key scholars, The Bloomsbury Companion to Anarchism will be an essential tool for both the scholar and the activist.

Arif Dirlik's latest offering is a revisionist perspective on Chinese radicalism in the twentieth century. He argues that the history of anarchism is indispensable to understanding crucial themes in Chinese radicalism. And anarchism is particularly significant now as a source of democratic ideals within the history of the socialist movement in China.
Dirlik draws on the most recent scholarship and on materials available only in the last decade to compile the first comprehensive history of his subject available in a Western language. He emphasizes the anarchist contribution to revolutionary discourse and elucidates this theme through detailed analysis of both anarchist polemics and social practice. The changing circumstances of the Chinese revolution provide the immediate context, but throughout his writing the author views Chinese anarchism in relation to anarchism worldwide.

Crispin Sartwell here unleashes a quick and brutal rejection of the traditional arguments for state legitimacy, and when he considers the classics of Western political philosophy - Hobbes, Locke, Rousseau, Hegel, Hume, Bentham, Rawls and Habernas, among others - he finds their positions not only wrong, but embarrassingly bad.

This collection of articles contains the English contributions to the 4th Austrian Students' Conference of Linguistics (OEsterreichische Studierenden-Konferenz der Linguistik, OESKL), which was held in November 2011 at the University of Innsbruck. With this collection, the editors want to make the insights and the knowledge presented at the 4th OESKL available in written format to a wider public.The contributions present in this collection are excerpts from PhD as well as diploma theses and seminar papers. The fifteen papers collected in this volume are very diverse, as are the authors themselves, who come from nine different countries, from Portugal in the West, Iran in the East and Norway in the North.The papers come from a variety of linguistic subdisciplines. Besides a strong focus on syntax, cognitive and historical linguistics, there are papers exploring pragmatics, foreign language acquisition, phonology and sociolinguistics.This volume of collected essays brings together conversations, papers, and debates from the Third Annual North American Anarchist Studies Network Conference in San Juan, Puerto Rico. Nathan Jun and Jorell A. Melendez aspire to go beyond a simple collection of papers and instead aim to maintain a dialogue among different academic fields with the sole task of comprehending and re-thinking anarchist studies.With over twenty-one chapters written by a diverse range of activists, organizers, musicians, artists, poets, and academics, this book transgresses the apparent simplicity of the study of anarchism with a dynamic and interdisciplinary approach that crystallizes and emulates the heterogeneous nature of the anarchist ideal. From theory and philosophy to historical analyses, methodologies, and perspectives, from different manifestations in the arts, media, and culture to religion, ethics, and spirituality, from the intersectionality of animal liberation and queer struggles to contemporary praxis and organizing, the authors explore different topics from a critical perspective that is often lacking in their respective academic fields. This book is a must-buy for critical teachers, students, and activists interested in studying anarchism and the different ways in which we can transform our reality.

+Es inhabitual escribir la historia de los hombres que hacen la HISTORIA.Nosotros hemos querido intentarlo. La HISTORIA la escribiran manana especialistas que estuvieron muy lejos de los hechos y de los hombres, daran interpretaciones, formularan juicios aplastantes. Nosotros hablamos aqum de los protagonistas que estaran "ausentes" en todas las historias todavma por escribir.; Jose Llums Facermas (Face) serma en la decada de los cincuenta uno de los luchadores mas populares en Cataluna, junto con Francisco Sabate Llopart (ElQuico), hasta su camda en Barcelona en 1957. Su vida fue un ejemplo de fidelidad a las ideas anarquistas y de determinacisn por acabar con la dictadura franquista. Sin embargo, el camino de la resistencia a la dictadura no sslo se vio obstaculizado por la represisn en el Estado espanol y el acoso policial en Francia, sino que se tuvo que enfrentar al rechazo de las organizaciones del Movimiento Libertario -sumidas en divisiones y enfrentamientos internos-, por causa de la desconfianza que sentman a cualquier intento de organizacisn que escapase de su control y por miedo al aumento de la represisn en Espana o a una posible ilegalizacisn en Francia. La amistad del autor con Facermas, la correspondencia personal que mantuvo con el hasta su muerte, la investigacisn de la documentacisn interna de las organizaciones del Movimiento Libertario y la recopilacisn de informacisn de los ficheros policiales le han permitido a Antonio Tellez reconstruir las circunstancias en las que se desenvolvis la lucha de los guerrilleros libertarios, y las adhesiones y rechazos que generaron. A pesar de los treinta anos transcurridos desde que se edits por primera vez el presente libro, lahistoriografma sobre la resistencia al franquismo sigue siendo +un desierto salpicado de minzsculos oasis;, scomo manifiesta Antonio Tellez en el prefacio de la presente edicisn, que ha sido corregida y ampliada con nuevos datos.
