Summary 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 socialism 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 will address our multiple global social problems
