Contents Introduction: beyond labour internationalism and a socialist utopia -- History: whatever happened to socialist and proletarian internationalism? -- Reconceptualization: the new labour internationalism -- Beyond the bureau: the waterfront internationalism of the Spanish dockers -- Beyond Westocentrism: new world, new unions, new labour internationalism? -- Beyond internationalism: women, feminism and global solidarity -- Conclusion: globalization, civil society, solidarity -- Postscript: the new global solidarity as personal experience
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 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
