This book analyses contemporary trends in radical unionism in Europe. It contains nine country case-studies that probe the limits and possibilities of trade union renewal with a focus on radical activity. The editors follow a broad definition of radical unionism, including trade union organisations that can be characterised as radical either in terms of ideology and political identity or in terms of organising and mobilising activity. The ongoing economic crisis and consequent austerity measures, and employers' strategies for increasing labour market flexibility have encouraged the deregulation of capitalism in Europe. The question this book asks is whether radicalised unionism, political action and grassroots activism present opportunities for union renewal and collective interest representation in this economic context. This question is examined in nine national contexts with diverse industrial relations frameworks and trade unions. The editors assess the degree to which we are withnessing the emergence of "radical political unionism" as an alternative model of trade unionism in Europe, focused on class struggle, engagement in social movement activity beyond the workplace, and politicised union strategies aligned to new left-wing political formations.

"Le populisme est une ideologie de synthèse qui permet à la droite de trouver le chemin des classes populaires en adoptant un style de gauche; la radicalité est une mythologie qui rapproche les extrêmes dans un rejet commun de la réforme et du compromis et facilite, le cas échéant, la circulation de l'un à l'autre. Dans certaines conditions de température et de pression politiques la radicalité de gauche ou la radicalité populiste peuvent accéder au pouvoir. Elles en font alors dans cet "alors" se niche l'Histoire un usage qui satisfera, en proportions variées, le goût de l'absolu qui anime les radicaux et la servitude volontaire qui anime les populistes. On appelle ça une catastrophe."--Page 4 of cover.

This ambitious and sweeping book presents a powerful argument against moral relativism and in favor of the objectivity of a theory of democratic individuality. Unlike much recent work in this field, the book does not simply adumbrate such a view. Rather, it develops the parallels between various versions of scientific and moral realism, and then reinterprets the history and internal logic of democratic theory, maintaining, for example, that the abolition of slavery represents genuine moral progress. The book also recasts the clashes between Marxist and Weberian, radical and liberal sociologies in the light of these moral claims, and sketches the institutions of a radical democracy.
