The author examines the past internationalism of labour and socialists and the present one of radical-democratic social movements, discussing how the left might build on this experience to recover a humanist and emancipatory tradition of internationalism, which would address global social problems.

In a political climate where loose talk of a "third way" passes for political idealism, Waterman's passionate book examines the possibilities for a new style global solidarity suited to complex capitalist modernity. The author examines the past internationalism of Labour and socialists and the present one of radical-democratic social movements, discussing how the Left might build on this experience to recover a humanist and emancipatory tradition of internationalism, which would address our multiple global social problems.

Peter Waterman is Senior Lecturer at the Institute of Social Studies and hosts the Global Solidarity Website from the Hague, Netherlands.
