Abstract
The dilemmas of ‘left’ politics at the moment have much to do with the shattering of the myth of socialism in one country, whether in its ‘communist’ or social-democratic form. It has been made clear by the collapse of the Soviet Union and the regimes of Eastern Europe, by the increasing integration of China into the world market, by the changing orientation of so many ‘socialist’ regimes in different parts of the world, by the right-wing policies of social democratic parties in Europe, that the only possible way to think of socialism today is as a global project.
This chapter, first published in English in Capital & Class, 52 (Spring 1994), is a modified version of an article originally published in Spanish in Perfiles Latinoamercanos, 1, FLACSO (Facultad Latinoamericana de Ciencias Sociales), Mexico City (December 1992). The theme of the issue is the Reform of the State in Latin America. Many people have provided helpful comments on the chapter: my particular thanks to Colin Barker, Werner Bonefeld, Peter Burnham and Eloina Peláez.
