What has happened to the European radical left after the collapse
of the USSR? How has it reacted, reformed, even revived? This new
volume is one of the first to provide an overview of the main
developments in contemporary European radical left parties (those
defining themselves as to the left of, and not merely on the left
of social democracy), which are now an increasingly visible
phenomenon in European party politics. Unlike many of the existing
studies it focuses on communist and non-communist parties,
addresses their non-parliamentary and international activity, and
takes a pan-European perspective, focusing on both Eastern and
Western Europe. March focuses on key contemporary left parties, the
nature of their radicalism and their ideological and strategic
positions, and overall, addresses their current dynamics and
immediate electoral prospects. The book argues that radical left
parties are still afflicted by existential crises about the nature
of 'socialism', and the future of communist parties in particular
is under threat. The most successful left parties are no longer
extremist, but present themselves as defending values and policies
that social democrats have allegedly abandoned, focus on pragmatism
rather than ideology and increasingly orientate themselves towards
government. Providing a significant contribution to existing
literature in the field, this book will be of interest to students
and scholars of comparative politics, political parties and radical
politics.
