The issue of a distinct left-wing international vision seems relatively overlooked in contemporary academic work and politics, with profound implications for public life.
Weighed down by its international contradictions, Europe is ill-prepared to grapple with illiberalism, climate breakdown, war, and migration in a coherent- let alone leftist- manner.
This conference aims to reflect on how socialist thinkers in the 80 years between the Paris Commune and the explosion of the New Left tried to shape a distinctly international outlook and devise a new role for Europe in a changing world.
The keynote address will be delivered by Professor Donald Sassoon (QMUL).
