Abstract
Very much remains to be done by way of detailed discussions and proposals, but we cannot in any case live much longer under the confusions of the existing ‘international’ economy and the existing ‘nation-state’. If we cannot find and communicate social forms of more substance than these, we shall be condemned to endure the accelerating pace of false and frenetic nationalisms and of reckless and uncontrollable global transnationalism. It is invidious to regard places, communities, cities, regions, or even nations as ‘things in themselves’ at a time when the global flexibility of capitalism is greater than ever…. Yet a global strategy of resistance and transformations has to begin with the realities of place and community.
