Materials for Genoa
A contribution to the event in Genoa which offers analyses, research and food for thought regarding some of the themes on which the anti-globalisation movement has broken the deafening silence maintained by the media. Objectives have been established by the movement and alliances created, all that remains is for it to co-ordinate itself into a project and to invent new forms of continuity and organisation.

Rossana Rossanda
THE BIG REMOVAL   italian version
Rossanda delves into the roots of the crisis in the Left. Due to the pressure of changes in the production set-up and the loss of real forms of socialism which has not yet sunk in, the Left has shifted the perception of the importance of the relationship between work and capital. As a result, the analytical and transforming strength that was the basis of reform projects, revolutions and anti-system stimulus has been lost.

BLAIR: A TRIUMPH? IF SO FOR WHOM?   original version   italian version
Blair's victory is not the triumph it seems. He may have won a large number of seats but he lost in percentage points and overall. Having said this, his success is linked to a further move to the right and with the full support of the establishment, leading to a drop in the youth and people's vote. These are the same problems that torment the whole of the European Left and make its future more uncertain.
Lionel Jospin
EUROPE MODELLED ON THE US: I'D RATHER IT WEREN'T   original version   italian version
Following a long period of 'institutional' debate, for the first time ever a head of government confirms the primacy of a social project while the successive stages of the construction of Europe are being defined. This is done with a lot of reference to that "European social model" in which there are consistent and recognisable signs of activity from the workers movement.
