Drawing on the disciplines of “Brunkhorst’s impressive sweep through the history of the modern concept of solidarity history, political philosophy, and political sociology, SOLIDARITY makes the connections we need to understand our twenty-first century, globalized society.

He then analyzes the modernization of Western —Seyla Benhabib societies and the destruction of the older, hierarchical solidarities. The problems of exclusion that subse- quently arose—which stemmed from growing individ- ualization in society (the “de-socialization of the individual”) as well as from the exclusion of certain Hauke Brunkhorst groups from the benefits of society—could be solved only with democratic solidarity in the form of its “insti- translated by Jeffrey Flynn tutional embodiment,” the democratic constitution. Finally, Brunkhorst examines the return of these exclusion problems as a result of economic globaliza- Brunkhorst tion. Analyzing the possibilities for democratic self- governance at a global level, Brunkhorst finds in recent global protest movements the beginnings of a transnational civic solidarity. Brunkhorst’s normative and sociological account, mediating between these two perspectives, demonstrates the necessity of keeping normative requirements systematically attuned with conditions of social reality.

Legal history can be a deeply provocative and infl uential fi eld, as illustrated by the growth of the European universities and the ius commune, the French Revolution, the American Revolution, and indeed all the great movements for national liberation through law. The study of history gives scholars and reformers the models and cour- age to question entrenched injustices, by demonstrating the contingency of law and other social arrangements. Yet legal history today fi nds itself diminished in the universities and legal academy. Too often scholarship betrays no knowledge of what went before, or why legal institutions took the shape they did.

  • Introduction
    Notes Introduction 1. Several recent studies have considered the role played by Communism in the history of the 20th century, as political orientation and organization: Archie Brown, The Rise and Fall of Communism (New York: Ecco; London: Bodley Head, 2009); Silvio Pons, The Global Revolution. A History of International Communism, 1917–1991, trans. Allan Cameron (Oxford: Oxford University Press, 2014); David Priestland, The Red Flag: Communism and the Making of the Modern World (New York: The Grove Press, 2009); Robert Service, Comrades: A History of World Communism (Cambridge, MA: Harvard University Press; London: Macmillan, 2007); Steve A. Smith, ed., Oxford Handbook of the History of Communism (Oxford: Oxford University Press, 2014). Though argu- ing from various political points of view their focus remains on traditional political history, not on Communism as a collective experience and the Comintern as the site of a particular type of militant practice. 2.

  • Die Stalinisierung Der KPD – Alte Und Neue Einschätzungen1
    HERMANN WEBER Die Stalinisierung der KPD – Alte und neue Einschätzungen1 Während meiner frühren Forschungen zur Geschichte der Kommunistischen Partei Deutschlands (KPD) konstatierte ich bereits 1959 eine »Stalinisierung« der Partei. Diese »Sektion« der Kommunistischen Internationale (Komintern) kopier- te bis 1929 schrittweise die KPdSU und wurde »ein Anhängsel der stalinistischen Kommunistischen Partei der Sowjetunion«2. In der ersten umfänglichen Doku- mentation zur Geschichte des deutschen Kommunismus von 1963 wurde dies ebenfalls als Ergebnis der Analyse festgehalten.3 Dass die Stalinisierung die ganze Komintern betraf, wurde 1966 (Kapitelüber- schrift: Die Stalinisierung der Komintern) als Fazit notiert: Mit der »Bolschewisie- rung« der Komintern wies Moskau dieser eine neue Rolle zu, »ihre Politik orien- tierte sich nunmehr an den vermeintlichen Interessen des Sowjetstaates. Damit wurde die Komintern ein Instrument Stalins. Allerdings handelte es sich bei dieser Funktionsänderung nicht um einen einmaligen Akt, sondern um eine schrittweise Transformation. Stalin unterwarf die einzelnen kommunistischen Parteien – eben- so wie die KPdSU – ständigen Säuberungen.«4 Schließlich habe ich 1969 die Stalinisierung der KPD für den Zeitraum 1924 bis 1929 umfassend beschrieben und analysiert.5 An den damaligen Aussagen halte 1 Der Aufsatz ist die gekürzte deutsche Fassung des englischen Beitrags in LaPorte, Nor- man/Morgan, Kevin/Worley, Matthew (Hrsg.): Stalinisation and Beyond.

  • Leo Weiczen: Communist, Democratic Communist, Revolutionary Democrat
    Guido FRANZINETTI Leo Weiczen: Communist, Democratic Communist, Revolutionary Democrat Leo Weiczen: Communist, Democratic Communist, Revolutionary Democrat Guido FRANZINETTI University of Eastern Piedmont Italy UDK 32-05Valiani, L.”192/193” Izvorni zanstveni rad / Original Scientific Paper Primljeno / Received: 02.05.2016. Prihvaćeno / Accepted: 15.11.2016. Leo Weiczen followed a complex political itinerary, from his early years as an orthodox Communist, to his phase as a “Democratic Communist” (linked to the Que faire? secret faction in the French Communist Party in the mid-1930s), and finally to his shift to a position of Revolutionary Democrat, which gradually emerged during the Second World War. This outline is based on currently available research (together with some neglected material). The aim is to contextualize Valiani’s choices in the history of interwar Communist, Socialist and Revolutionary Democratic movements. Keywords: Leo Valiani, Arthur Koestler, Spanish Civil War, Le Vernet, Walter Krivitsky/Krivickij, Ignace Reiss, Ruth Fischer. This paper1 addresses a series of related issues, mainly methodological, with some reference some factual issues. Ricciardi’s book on the first part of Valiani’s life, together with the publication of relevant parts of Valiani’s correspondence and of some of his early writings provide an adequate basis for a discussion of his relationship with Communism.2 The objective is to 1 Paper originally presented at the conference on Leo Valiani (Rijeka, 29 September 2015), adapted for this publication and amended after the comments by the anonymous reviewers. I would like to thank also Ivan Jeličić, Alberto Masoero, Ravel Kodrič, Andrea Ricciardi, Edoardo Tortarolo, and Adriano Viarengo for their assistance.
