商品簡介
Primarily concerned with the historical roots and contemporary condition of socialism, The A to Z of Socialism offers information on writers, activists, ideas, political parties, institutions, and movements that sought - and, in many cases, are still seeking - to change social and political order. This volume reflects the diversity in the broad movement of the left and exposes such variants as reformist social democracy, revolutionary Marxism, the New Left, and contemporary anticapitalism.
The A to Z of Socialism shows how socialism has been reacting, reforming, and expanding. This is achieved through a chronology, list of acronyms and abbreviations, introductory essay, bibliography, and a cross-referenced dictionary section with some entries on the current leadership, others on the many new parties of Central and Eastern Europe and the Third World, and yet others on reaction to globalization. Peter Lamb and James C. Docherty provide a wealth of information for teachers and students of political ideologies, comparative politics, political sociology, labor history, and political theory.
