About the Book

As we enter a new century, has it got harder for revolutions to occur in a world of far-flung corporations and commodity chains, global cultural forms, instantaneous communication, and a new unipolar system of power? In this volume, a number of eminent historians, sociologists and political scientists who have spent their lives studying revolutionary processes reflect on and debate this question. Their reflections constitute a state of the art assessment of the conditioning factors shaping the likely incidence and possible new forms of radical political change in the era of globalization.

Review :
Against the idea that globalization has rendered collective action on behalf of exploited people futile, this book sounds surprising notes of optimism. This book is a long fascinating conversation about whether revolution is still a relevant concept with which to analyze the contemporary world, and if so, under what conditions they might occur.
