The Third Way's Short Happy Life in Germany  
The recent elections in Germany marked the fastest and most serious defeat of a Left-wing government in Europe. Hermann Scheer from the S.P.D. and AndrČ Brie, E.M.P. for the P.D.S. try to provide an explanation and formulate some hypotheses. We tie up the ends and offer analytical elements with the help of electoral data.

The Glare of the Balkan War  
Now that the smoke screens of the "humanitarian war" have dispersed, the "new world order" sanctioned by NATO's actions clearly emerges. The extent to which the principles of international law have been subverted and the increased instability and ethnic conflicts also come into focus. But above all, the devastation of cultures and ideals which has even managed to penetrated the Left becomes glaringly obvious.

Myths and Realities of Globalised Capitalism  
Globalisation is currently on everyone's lips and we too would like to take up the gautlet. On this subject, Bellofiore challenges the widespread interpretation of post-Fordism, the internationalisation of the markets and "The End of Work" as processes that are by now univocal and fatal. Arrighi reproposes the hypothesis of decline in the USA that seems to be immediately contradicted by a recovery in their supremacy.

Once Upon a Turning Point  
A round table between some of the protagonists directly involved in the crisis and breakdown of the PCI between 1989 and 1991. The aim of the discussion is to integrate the known facts with memories of that time, and to ask whether the outcome could have been different by reflecting on the choices taken in that period ten years after the event. To promote understanding of the situation, we publish a commentary of those two years.
