This observation can be applied to events in the last decades of 20thcentury Northern Ireland. When writing about that period and its principal actors, it is axiomatic that the insurgency was a long time in the making. Indeed, it could be argued that it is at the heart of the matter of these two important assessments of the fate of the long insurgency in the north of Ireland (1969–1998) and that of the leading actor in that insurgency, the Provisional IRA. While both books offer a sympathetic assessment of the origins of the conflict, they provide different orientations in their focus on actor volition and history. Yet, there is a rather large elephant in the room, more evident perhaps in O’Ruairc than Finn, as we shall see. Daniel Finn is concerned with the lineage and trajectory of the Provisionals in the context of periods of colonial and then imperialist control. By contrast, Liam O’Ruairc addresses the question of the nature of the outcome of the armed struggle judged in relation to the origins of the conflict in the history of the repressive Orange State (Northern Ireland) and the means pursued by the Provisional IRA to end the myriad injustices that characterized that state. For O’ Ruairc, the modus operandi of armed struggle was an illchosen means by which the Orange state would be defeated and the outcome, judged from his standpoint, was at best of limited gain if not in the end fruitless. More than this, it leads to the defeat of those who needed most but lost most during the war and the incorporation and subordination of those they fought with, and for, during the insurgency.

This passive revolution, which was triggered by demands for independence by radical nationalists, entailed the formation of a pro-British political party, the Botswana Democratic Party, and transferring power to it in a carefully managed decolonization process. The passive revolution aimed not just at preserving British economic interests in the protectorate but also at state formation for purposes of expanding the capitalist mode of production in the newly independent state. Thus, the transfer of power took place concurrently with the creation of a legitimate capitalist state that served the interests of both the British and the cattle-owning Botswana Democratic Party elite that assumed power at independence. Post-independence, the cattle bourgeois class at the apex of the Botswana Democratic Party embarked upon the construction of hegemony through the creation of an interventionist developmental state that addressed the narrow interests of other classes and groups constituting the post-independence historical bloc. Such hegemony has allowed the Botswana Democratic Party to retain power to the present day.","PeriodicalId":46258,"journal":{"name":"Capital and Class","volume":"411 1","pages":"561 - 578"},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2021-03-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"84565867","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

These different forms of housing activism have become increasingly connected at the transnational level, primarily due to the work of the ‘European Action Coalition for the Right to Housing and to the City’. Consisting of activist groups from over 20 different countries, this coalition facilitates mutual exchange, organises collective campaigns and has begun engaging in institutional advocacy at the European Union level. It steadily expands in size and tactical repertoire, aiming to develop a more unified transnational strategy for attaining affordable and self-determined living space across Europe. Drawing on the writings of Antonio Gramsci, this article makes the case that the ‘European Action Coalition for the Right to Housing and to the City’ increasingly performs the function of a ‘collective intellectual’ that organises a transnational struggle against neoliberal hegemony. Based on qualitative analyses of documents, interviews and field notes, it demonstrates that the ‘European Action Coalition for the Right to Housing and to the City’ exhibits a counter-hegemonic perspective that opposes neoliberal capitalism as a whole and manages to facilitate mutual solidarity across different activist communities explicitly on the basis of class struggle. At the same time, instead of organising a democratic centralist political project the ‘European Action Coalition for the Right to Housing and to the City’ pursues a more decentralised approach to collective intellectual leadership that prioritises domestic struggles, yet also lacks a cohesive long-term strategy.","PeriodicalId":46258,"journal":{"name":"Capital and Class","volume":"73 1","pages":"523 - 541"},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2021-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"83971360","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
