This book calls for new attention to non-traditional forms of
emancipatory tactics and welcomes to the fold all manner of
‘everyday’ expressions of anti-authoritarianism. Capitalism has
taken the mask off. Elites feel less obliged to pursue strategies
of popular legitimization. The traditional institutions of
representative democracies are thus hollowing out and stand before
us corrupted and broken. In this milieu, the prospects for a
democratic entering of the state are seen as increasingly
fantastical, and the Left is advised instead to adopt a more
tactical posture. These expressions can run the gamut, from the
more obviously theatrical antics of ‘The Yes Men’ to those of
‘black bloc,’ and other direct-action militant groups, already
well-known from their interventions in the cities of Berkeley and
Charlottesville. This volume addresses this problem via the concept
of tactics. The point is less to prescribe an ideal range of
tactics but rather to consider a broader range of
resistances—from the struggles of indigenous peoples to those who
seek refuge from gender or citizenship-based discrimination to
those who seek to defend “black lives” from militarized
policing. Tactics and Emancipation in the Age of Authoritarian
Neoliberalism will be a beneficial read for students and scholars
of Critical Political Science, International Relations, and
International Political Economy. The chapters in this book were
originally published as a special issue of New Political Science.
