What we do
The eruption of anti-establishment protests in the decade that followed the economic crisis of 2008-2009 has put an end to the neoliberal hegemony without uprooting the policy set and the dominant political mentalities which enable neoliberal capitalism. This situation creates an opening for the urgent critique of capitalism and the articulation of alternative socio-political imaginaries. The International Political Science Association's Research Committee on Socialism, Capitalism and Democracy aims to provide a forum for discussion and collective work among political scientists interested in capitalism and its alternatives; it has set itself the task to foster politically-relevant work able to affect policy change. We welcome both empirically and theoretically-oriented research.
