For journals of the Left, moreover, it is imperative to provide space for and encourage critical reflection on their roots and their aftermaths. In this issue, we publish the initial reflections of six scholars: Neil Smith; Sandra Whitworth; Ellen Wood; Leo Panitch; Christopher Powell, and Aijaz Ahmad. The themes they develop—capitalist globalization, the place of the national state in the emergent global (dis)order, resistance and prospects for renewal of a democratic Left—run through this issue. Living within walking distance of “ground zero,” Neil Smith directly confronted not only the enormity of the destruction, but also the inability to comprehend on the part of many for whom the violence of the 20th century had remained distant, even when the American state was directly implicated. Answers to the question “why us” require a “multi-scalar” perspective—one capable of recognizing the multiple and complex connections traversing local, national and global spaces. That the 11th of September made it more difficult, and yet imperative, to raise critical questions about that order was readily apparent to Sandra Whitworth as she faces her introductory international relations class. For Whitworth, the questions that need to be asked include who has power and how are (particular) gendered identities appealed to by the US Establishment and its “Other.” Few on the Left will have missed the symbolic dimension of those terrible events: the perpetrators chose to attack key symbols of American capitalism’s economic dominion and military might. This is not accidental, as both Leo Panitch and Ellen Wood stress. Islamic and other fundamentalisms have stepped into the vacuum created by the defeat of the old Left and the US-backed crushing of secular nationalist opponents of corrupt regimes. And the very fact that the Left and the attackers appear to have common enemies is helping to justify the imposition of stringent “anti-terrorist” legislation","PeriodicalId":87064,"journal":{"name":"Bristol medico-chirurgical journal (1883)","volume":"60 1","pages":"32 - 33"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2002-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/19187033.2002.11675194","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"60013016","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}

Aitken","doi":"10.1080/19187033.2000.11675230","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1080/19187033.2000.11675230","url":null,"abstract":"With this issue, SPE continues to grapple with the questions of what should be progressive politics in this era of neo-liberal globalization, what are the barriers to progressive politics and how can we best analyze the current situation so as to understand both the barriers and the opportunities for progressive political action. Wendy Lamer's article \"Neo-liberalism: Policy, Ideology, Govermentality\" argues for an analysis of neo-liberalism that makes visible the compromises, contradictions and inconsistencies that characterize its political projects, and therefore counters the disempowering effects of viewing neo-liberalism as a \"monolithic\" or \"totalizing\" ideology or system. She contends that conceptualizing neo-liberalism as a form of govermentality is particularly useful for revealing its contradictions, but that this approach needs to incorporate the critical perspectives of feminists and socialists in order to adequately situate an analysis of neo-liberalism that can enhance possibilities for social justice and collective well-being. Rianne Mahon's re-interpretation of recent Swedish politics argues that Swedish social democracy continues to offer a viable alternative to neo-liberalism. Despite studies arguing that the Swedish model has been swamped by the pressures of globalization, she contends that it can still be seen as a way of combining growth with social justice. Mahon's argument stresses that the success of Sweden recently has been the result of political decisions that have moved to integrate new social movements within an expanded class agenda. The article documents these efforts with particular emphasis on women's issues and on the ways these were taken up by the Swedish social democrats. The lesson is that politics counts, and that \"old\" political movements can evolve in ways that address vital concerns of \"new\" political movements. Robert Hackett's \"Taking Back the Media\" argues that the democratization of the media is a much more important issue for the left than has been commonly understood. In order to make this point, Hackett looks unsentimentally at the conceptual and normative wealmesses of the media democratization movement.

In the case of Andrew Sayer, the status quo of political economy itself is challenged. He argues that radical political economy has increasingly come to reflect the extent to which the lifeworld is dominated by economistic rationality. To rejuvenate its critical positioning, Sayer proposes a revival of the concept of moral economy by turning questions of economic behaviour into normative questions of validity. This means broadening analysis out from questions about how economic systems work, to questions about what they are for. From Sayer's viewpoint, values are not beyond the scope of critical inquiry and debate. In raising questions about the normative context of economic activity, Sayer positions himself alongside other contemporary arguments about the need to reintegrate the economic with social phenomenon, and to recognize, challenge and develop the moral character of economies. Kiran Mirchandani and Evangelia Tastsoglou s article tackles the concept of ''tolerance,'' its place in the construction of Canadian identity and multiculturalism, and in the continuation of a racist, homophobic status quo. Their analysis uses the reporting of \"tolerance\" regarding \"minority groups\" in Canadian news media to show the strong link between the celebration of tolerance and the acceptance of inequality and oppression. This tolerance is central to Canadian multiculturalism policies and the exclusionary construction of the Canadian \"national self.\" Mirchandani and Tastsoglou note, however, that tolerance is constructed as limited, thus protecting the status quo. This minimalist approach to tolerance, and the policy of multiculturalism which frames it, is contrasted with integrative anti-racism. In arguing for a diversity beyond tolerance, the authors place as central the systemic character of racism and the requirement of an action orientation. The authors conclude with detailed illustrations of the major contrasts between tolerance and integrative anti-racism.
