The European Radical Left

More about the book

The book explores the evolution of the European radical left through pivotal political moments: the late 1960s to late 1970s, the turn of the millennium, and post-2008. Charalambous challenges the notion of a 'new left' by highlighting continuities with earlier movements, such as the May uprisings in France and the rise of the Global Justice Movement. He examines the impact of anti-austerity politics on new left parties like Podemos and Syriza. Using a 'two-level' perspective, the author analyzes social movements and party politics, offering insights for activists and scholars alike.
