Post-Soviet Forms of Social and Political Battles
- Discussion in French -
Throughout the Cold War, the Soviet Union and powerful communist parties played a decisive role in the balance of social and political power in Western Europe. The workers' struggle was a driver of social progress at the time. Since the fall of the Berlin Wall and the decline of pro-Soviet parties, social and political battles have taken on other forms, whether they are minority struggles, the fight for alter-globalisation or the struggles of marginalised populations. What are their assets and difficulties? What is at stake and what is their outlook?
