Focusing on socialism as it has been practised in recent years,
this text examines the serious set-backs that face its existence,
particularly following events in Eastern Europe. The author argues
that it is totalitarianism which is being rejected and not
socialism as it was originally conceived. Instead of providing
ordinary people, "the workers", with a larger share in economic
decision-making, the socialist models have concentrated both
economic and political power in the hands of the State, developing
a form of state socialism. This second edition re-considers the
arguments of the first text, and assesses the decisive swing to the
right which has marked the political arena of the 1980s.;The
author, Evan Luard, has published a number of titles, many for
Macmillan. These include "Conflict and Peace in the Modern
International System", "The United Nations: How It Works and What
It Does", "The Management of the World Economy", "International
Agencies: The Emerging Framework of Interdependence" and
"International Society".
The revolutions that have recently occurred in Eastern Europe have
been seen by some as heralding the death of socialism. Evan Luard
argues, in this new edition of his book, that those revolutions
demonstrated the failure not of socialism, which were never
practised in those states, but of state socialism, a perversion of
the doctrine which, for nearly a century, has distorted its true
meaning in East and West Europe alike.
Paul Eluard (1895-1952) is widely considered to be one of France's
most important poets. This bilingual edition translates Eluard's
Love, Poetry (L'amour la poesie, 1929) for the first time into
English. This popular work cemented Eluard's reputation
internationally as one of France's greatest 20th century poets.
Never out of print in France, this is it's debut in the English
language.
