Convenors: Lara Montesinos Coleman, University of Sussex Doerthe Rosenow, Oxford Brookes University Karen Tucker, University of Bristol The workshop convenors encourage attendance at both workshops.

This collection is a model for the kinds of discussion we need to move forward." (Michael Hardt, co-author of Empire). "Radical politics is about rethinking the common sense, the taken for granted assumptions, of the age. This timely and well-planned collection of essays by distinguished and concerned scholars throws much new light on where we should be looking for new ideas. It represents a major contribution to the ongoing debate on the problems of our times." (Lord Bhikhu Parekh) "This is a bold, brave and timely book. As we emerge, blinking into the light after three decades of neo-liberal darkness, Jonathan Pugh has put together a collection of essays that will provoke and provide clues to the question of what comes next; what indeed is radical politics today?" (Neal Lawson, Director, Compass/ Speechwriter to Gordon Brown) ***** This email came through the mailinglist of the Critical Political Economy Research Network of the European Sociological Association http://criticalpoliticaleconomy.net/ To post to the mailinglist or change settings: http://www.jiscmail.ac.uk/lists/POLITICAL-ECONOMY-RN.html If replying, please do not reply to everybody.
