Violence Today
Actually-existing Barbarism?
Socialist Register 2009
edited by Leo Panitch and Colin Leys
Amidst the carnage of the First World War, Rosa Luxemburg posed a stark choice for humanity: socialism or barbarism. Violence Today asks if current patterns mark a decent into the barbarism that Luxemburg feared and if a just society, one capable of transcending the endemic violence of the neoliberal order, is possible in the new century.

Coming to Terms with Nature

edited by Leo Panitch and Colin Leys
Coming to Terms with Nature: Socialist Register 2007 examines whether capitalism can come to terms with today’s ecological challenges and whether socialist thought has developed sufficiently to help us do so.

The New Imperial Challenge
Socialist Register 2004
edited by Leo Panitch and Colin Leys
The essays in this fortieth volume of the Socialist Register analyze the unique nature of the new U.S. empire and challenge the left to develop a better theory of imperialism and its relation to globalized capitalism. Other essays examine the limits and contradictions of “Americanization” as a dimension of U.S. global power; the facts and myths surrounding U.S. strategic interests in Iraq and the “war on terror” ecological imperialism; and the significance of international migration in the new imperial order.

A World Of Contradictions
Socialist Register 2002
edited by Leo Panitch and Colin Leys
This collection of essays examines social contradictions in the age of globalization in which old antagonisms often appear to be overcome, although new cracks are emerging in the faade of capitalist progress. Where do they occur? Where can they be expected to appear in future? How are they to be grasped in a spirit of sober radicalism, which neither accepts the limits of the present nor overcomes them through wishful thinking alone? What possibilities do they offer for mobilizing resistance? These issues define an agenda which is critical for socialism in our time.
