HIGHLIGHTS During Southern Talks, Deng Xiaoping proposed the policy of avoiding quarrels, was it right or wrong? The policy was proposed regarding some concrete measures of reform and opening up in order to win time, we should not miss opportunities by indulging into debates. It didn't mean we ignore ideological issues, whether to take the socialist path or the capitalist one. It was in line with the law of cognition, in line with the Marxist viewpoint of "practice comes first" and conformed to our past experiences. -- Zhu Jiamu, Vice President of the CASS opponents are particularly fond of the myth that the Communist victory would provoke a civil war in Russia. We are ending this lie. CPRF's ultimate goal is a peaceful and stable development of Russia and return of people's wealth back to people. With our rule, the country will get rid of the destructive rule of the "wild" market. We will restore the state regulation of economic life, its core planning, industrial and agricultural policy. Privatization and the so-called "reform" destroyed more than two thirds of the country's industrial potential. It's time to rectify the situation." -- Ouyang Xiangying, Institute of World Economics and Politics, CASS Venezuela became the vanguard of the socialist forces in the Southern hemisphere. Venezuela's exploration of socialism may not tally with the traditional definition of socialism and socialism building, but we should say that there can be no fixed model for socialism and socialism building, And such new explorations do not only enhance the vitality and enrichment of the world socialism, but also expands the influence of Marxism in the world, innovates and develops Marxism. -- Zhu Jidong, Director of World Socialism Research Center, CASS The Japanese Communist Party put forward a new demand to fight against the deregulation of the labor market: to fight against the increasing poverty in the working class. Chairman Shii claimed that "poverty comes from broken rules for decent work, we should be able to impose social regulations in order to curb large corporations' craze for profit. Consequently, the JCP advocated and demanded the "regulated economy versus capitalism without rules." -- Zheng Ping, Associate researcher in the Marxism Research Institute, CASS Ideological confusion and changes since Khrushchev have been the precursor of reverse "evolution" of Soviet Union with negation of the history of the CPSU and the socialist practices of the SU was the core agenda. Hostile forces can only restore capitalism through paralyzing the ruling communist party and grabbing state power, this is only possible if the communist party is in an ideological disorder and poorly organized. Some people argue that Gorbachev's ideas saw a gradual change in the course of time, his gradual style regarding ideological issues was a kind of trick, he has always been consistent in his final goal. -- Zhou Xincheng, Invited Researcher, World Socialism Research Center, CASS

Download or read book Ethical Eating in the Postsocialist and Socialist World written by Yuson Jung and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 2014-02-21 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Current discussions of the ethics around alternative food movements--concepts such as "local," "organic," and "fair trade"--tend to focus on their growth and significance in advanced capitalist societies. In this groundbreaking contribution to critical food studies, editors Yuson Jung, Jakob A. Klein, and Melissa L. Caldwell explore what constitutes "ethical food" and "ethical eating" in socialist and formerly socialist societies. With essays by anthropologists, sociologists, and geographers, this politically nuanced volume offers insight into the origins of alternative food movements and their place in today's global economy. Collectively, the essays cover discourses on food and morality; the material and social practices surrounding production, trade, and consumption; and the political and economic power of social movements in Bulgaria, China, Cuba, Lithuania, Russia, and Vietnam. Scholars and students will gain important historical and anthropological perspective on how the dynamics of state-market-citizen relations continue to shape the ethical and moral frameworks guiding food practices around the world.

Download or read book The Unmaking of Arab Socialism written by Ali Kadri and published by Anthem Press. This book was released on 2016-10-01 with total page 310 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Conditions of malnutrition, conflict, or a combination of both characterize many Arab countries, but this was not always so. As in much of the developing world, the immediate post-independence period represented an age of hope and relative prosperity. But imperialism did not sleep while these countries developed, and it soon intervened to destroy these post-independence achievements. The two principal defeats and losses of territory to Israel in 1967 and 1973, as well as the others that followed, left in their wake more than the destruction of assets and the loss of human lives: the Arab World lost its ideology of resistance. The Unmaking of Arab Socialism is an attempt to understand the reasons for Arab world's developmental descent from the pinnacle of Arab socialism to its present desolate conditions through an examination of the post-colonial histories of Egypt, Syria, and Iraq.

Download or read book Alternative Globalizations written by James Mark and published by Indiana University Press. This book was released on 2020-02-11 with total page 352 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Globalization has become synonymous with the seemingly unfettered spread of capitalist multinationals, but this focus on the West and western economies ignores the wide variety of globalizing projects that sprang up in the socialist world as a consequence of the end of the European empires. This collection is the first to explore alternative forms of globalization across the socialist world during the Cold War. Gathering the work of established and upcoming scholars of the Soviet Union, Eastern Europe, and China, Alternative Globalizations addresses the new relationships and interconnections which emerged between a decolonizing world in the postwar period and an increasingly internationalist eastern bloc after the death of Stalin. In many cases, the legacies of these former globalizing impulses from the socialist world still exist today. Divided into four sections, the works gathered examine the economic, political, developmental, and cultural aspects of this exchange. In doing so, the authors break new ground in exploring this understudied history of globalization and provide a multifaceted study of an increasing postwar interconnectedness across a socialist world.

Download or read book Revisiting Marx s Critique of Liberalism written by Igor Shoikhedbrod and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2019-12-26 with total page 248 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Revisiting Marx’s Critique of Liberalism offers a theoretical reconstruction of Karl Marx’s new materialist understanding of justice, legality, and rights through the vantage point of his widely invoked but generally misunderstood critique of liberalism. The book begins by reconstructing Marx’s conception of justice and rights through close textual interpretation and extrapolation. The central thesis of the book is, firstly, that Marx regards justice as an essential feature of any society, including the emancipated society of the future; and secondly, that standards of justice and right undergo transformation throughout history. The book then tracks the enduring legacy of Marx’s critique of liberal justice by examining how leading contemporary political theorists such as John Rawls, Jürgen Habermas, Axel Honneth, and Nancy Fraser have responded to Marx’s critique of liberalism in the face of global financial capitalism and the hollowing out of democratically-enacted law. The Marx that emerges from this book is therefore a thoroughly modern thinker whose insights shed valuable light on some of the most pressing challenges confronting liberal democracies today.

Download or read book Borderlands in European Gender Studies written by Teresa Kulawik and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2019-10-23 with total page 449 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Challenging persistent geopolitical asymmetries in feminist knowledge production, this collection depicts collisions between concepts and lived experiences, between academic feminism and political activism, between the West as generalizable and the East as the concrete Other. Borderlands in European Gender Studies narrows the gap between cultural analysis and social theory, addressing feminist theory’s epistemological foundations and its capacity to confront the legacies of colonialism and socialism. The contributions demonstrate the enduring worth of feminist concepts for critical analysis, conceptualize resistance to multiple forms of oppression, and identify the implications of the decoupling of cultural and social feminist critique for the analysis of gender relations in a postsocialist space. This book will be of import to activists and researchers in women’s and gender studies, comparative gender politics and policy, political science, sociology, contemporary history, and European studies. It is suitable for use as a supplemental text for advanced undergraduate and graduate courses in a range of fields.
