{"product_id":"9781350247918","title":"Leftist Internationalisms : A Transnational Political History (New Approaches to International History)","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis volume offers a new perspective on the political history of the socialist, communist and alternative political Lefts, focusing on the role of networks and transnational connections. Embedding the history of left-wing internationalism into a new political history approach, it accounts for global and transnational turns in the study of left-wing politics. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe essays in this collection study a range of examples of international engagement and transnational cooperation in which left-wing actors were involved, and explore how these interactions shaped the globalization of politics throughout the 20th century. In taking a multi-archival and methodological approach, this book challenges two conventional views - that the left gradually abandoned its original international to focus exclusively on the national framework, and that internationalism survived merely as a rhetorical device. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eInstead, this collection highlights how different currents of the Left developed their own versions of internationalism in order to adapt to the transformation of politics in the interdependent 20th-century world. Demonstrating the importance of political convergence, alliance-formation, network construction and knowledge circulation within and between the socialist and communist movements, it shows that the influence of internationalism is central to understanding the foreign policy of various left-wing parties and movements.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Bloomsbury Academic","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49841190437112,"sku":"00000_00000_00000_00000","price":235.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0789\/8208\/6904\/files\/9781350247918-1.jpg?v=1783687235","url":"https:\/\/kinokuniya.com.au\/products\/9781350247918","provider":"Books Kinokuniya Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
