For over 20 years the political landscape of the French Left has been completely fragmented, while in Europe and elsewhere forces were emerging to defend true left-wing policies. What is the reason for such a paradox? Basing himself on lessons learned from the successes and failures of political and social experiments, Christophe Aguiton provides solid, well-informed thoughts on how to break out of the strategic impasse and political games that are undermining the French Left.
Christophe Aguiton, a trade union and community activist, participated in the creation of SUD-PPT, d’AC! (Agir ensemble contre le chômage - Acting together against unemployment) and Attac. He is the author of Le monde nous appartient (The world belongs to us) (Plon, 2001; 10/18, 2003) and Tous dans la rue (Everyone in the street) (with Robert Castel, Seuil, 2011).
