  • Boundaries of Utopia – Imagining Communism from Plato to Stalin
    Boundaries of Utopia – Imagining Communism from Plato to Stalin The idea that socialism could be established in a single country was adopted as an official doctrine by the Soviet Union in 1925, Stalin and Bukharin being the main formulators of the policy. Before this there had been much debate as to whether the only way to secure socialism would be as a result of socialist revolution on a much broader scale, across all Europe or wider still. This book traces the development of ideas about communist utopia from Plato onwards, paying particular attention to debates about universalist ideology versus the possibility for ‘socialism in one country’. The book argues that although the prevailing view is that ‘socialism in one country’ was a sharp break from a long tradition that tended to view socialism as only possible if universal, in fact the territorially confined socialist project had long roots, including in the writings of Marx and Engels. Erik van Ree is an Assistant Professor at the Institute of European Studies at the University of Amsterdam, the Netherlands.

  • Forms of Political Representation in Late Medieval Northern Italy Merits and Shortcomings of the City-State Paradigm (Late 14Th–Early 16Th Century)
    Chapter 3 Forms of Political Representation in Late Medieval Northern Italy Merits and Shortcomings of the City-State Paradigm (Late 14th–early 16th Century) Marco Gentile 1 Introduction The aim of this chapter is to provide a sketch of the varied patterns of political representation in the Lombard region at the end of the Middle Ages. More spe- cifically, this account will focus on the state or duchy of Milan, also known as the “Stato/ducato visconteo-sforzesco”. The interchangeability of these names is itself an indication of the fundamental ambiguity of the material constitu- tion of a political entity of this kind, which current historiography can choose to define either by focusing on the urban element (though Milan was not a capital city in the strict sense, nor a dominante like Venice or Florence) or by underscoring the role of the princely dynasty in power. In the late medieval Milanese duchy, there was no general representative in- stitution, such as a parliament, the German Landtage, the Cortes of Castile and Aragon, or the French provincial and general Estates. In their absence, at the centre we find bodies such as the ducal Privy Council, while at the peripheries we find the legal representative bodies of the subject cities and communities, the local councils, which were often hegemonized by semi-corporate factional groups. These different levels will be analysed here through the case studies of Parma, Piacenza and Alessandria. Until a few years ago, it was customary for historians to refer to the Mi- lanese duchy as a sum of city-states (or “a coordination of cities”) under a lord or a prince, who was a member of the Visconti, or from 1450 the Sforza dynasty.1 Over the last two decades, however, historians have begun to * I would like to thank Letizia Arcangeli, Giorgio Chittolini, Federico Del Tredici and Massimo Della Misericordia for their generous comments and suggestions on the first version of this paper.

    Sos Political science & Public administration M.A.Political Science II Sem Political Philosophy:Mordan Political Thought, Theory & contemporary Ideologies(201) UNIT-IV Topic Name-Utopian Socialism What is utopian society? • A utopia is an imagined community or society that possesses highly desirable or nearly perfect qualities for its citizens.The opposite of a utopia is a dystopia. • Utopia focuses on equality in economics, government and justice, though by no means exclusively, with the method and structure of proposed implementation varying based on ideology.According to Lyman Tower SargentSargent argues that utopia's nature is inherently contradictory, because societies are not homogenous and have desires which conflict and therefore cannot simultaneously be satisfied. • The term utopia was created from Greek by Sir Thomas More for his 1516 book Utopia, describing a fictional island society in the south Atlantic Ocean off the coast of South America Who started utopian socialism? • Charles Fourier was a French socialist who lived from 1772 until 1837 and is credited with being an early Utopian Socialist similar to Robert Owen. He wrote several works related to his socialist ideas which centered on his main idea for society: small communities based on cooperation Definition of utopian socialism • socialism based on a belief that social ownership of the means of production can be achieved by voluntary and peaceful surrender of their holdings by propertied groups What is the goal of utopian societies? • The aim of a utopian society is to promote the highest quality of living possible. The word 'utopia' was coined by the English philosopher, Sir Thomas More, in his 1516 book, Utopia, which is about a fictional island community.

  • The Present and the History of the Own Time: an Historical Approach
    The present and the history of the own time: an historical approach Gonzalo Pasamar Alzuria Universidad de Zaragoza The expression ‘History of the Present’ spans over a diversity of trends different in their political birth, main issues, and historical traditions from which they have derived It is however true that from the nineties onward, the ‘Zeitsgeschichte’, the ‘Contemporary History’, and the ‘Histoire du Temps Present’, quoting only the most noteworthy, have underwent changes, and even have approximated to one another. Born in the period of Cold War, supported by institutions and journals, the disappearance of the Soviet Union and the globalization has obliged them to revise their former approaches, and provided them with new opportunities for research. Nevertheless, these all have coincided in being pioneers in signalling the importance of the twentieth century and recent times by claiming the importance that witnesses, memories, and proximity to events have for historians. Even they have shown highly aware of being breaking with clichés coming from the first generations of professional historians, who ignored the recent times because of an assumed lack of perspective, or influenced by the dictum that ‘history must be about the past’. It is not coincidence that some authors had considered them, beyond designations, as a ‘new history’ (Aróstegui 2004, 19-61). To the members of the French Institute d’ Histoire du Temps Present, for instance, this trend should be regarded as a ‘démarche’, as a way of representing the present in motion; a recent time –the time of the contemporary historian- where events, processes, and memories converge (Tresbitsch 1993, 65).

  • MACHIAVELLI and GUICCIARDINI: ANCIENTS and MODERNS J. G. A. Pocock
    Canadian Journal of Political and Social Theory/Revue canadienne de thiorie politique et sociale, Vol. 2, No. 3 (Fall/ Automne 1978). MACHIAVELLI AND GUICCIARDINI : ANCIENTS AND MODERNS J. G. A. Pocock This essay's aim' is to examine the contention, put forward by such diverse scholars as Friedrich Meinecke, Leo Strauss and Felix Gilbert, that Machiavelli's thought and that of other Florentines such as Bernardo Rucellai,.marked the start ofthinking about "modern" politics and history . It also attempts to consider the paired terms "ancient" and "modern" - what they may mean and have meant, and how far it has been or may be useful to examine the two Florentines in the context of the relation between antiquity and modernity. Leo Strauss held that we were living in times when modernity had itself become a problem. One might say that the word has always been used to denote a consciously problematical view of the human condition ; but doubtless it was some highly self-confident brand of progressivist or dialectical modernism that Strauss had chiefly in mind. At a much simpler level, we can agree that the concept of modernity always presents a rather obvious problem, that of definition. Must we always mean the same thing? It would not be hard to show that the word modern is what we make of it; its meaning depends largely upon what we choose to place before it. If we ask whether there is a sense in which Machiavelli and Guicciardini have been, or may be, said to mark the beginnings of modern political thinking, the elementary thought should soon occur to us that what preceded them ought to be termed not ancient but medieval.
