To discuss these themes, we brought together 15 texts, written by 20 social scientists from 10 countries. These authors are, for some, internationally renowned and experienced personalities and, for others, young researchers starting their careers, but all working in their own way to strengthen Marxism in order to apply its powerful methods to the interpretation and, above all, the transformation of the world. Their contributions deal with 12 economies, covering five continents: Germany, Great Britain, France, Spain, Senegal, South Africa, Lebanon, Iran, India, Papua New Guinea, Australia and Chile in the current period or very near past – plus two other countries, China and Cuba, in their more distant past preceding their respective socialist revolutions. In addition, the cases of Palestine and Israel, but also of Ukraine, are addressed in a final postscript written by Paul Zarembka.

Statement of Purpose: This RESEARCH annual is founded on analyzing society in a manner consistent with the importance of the role of class. International in scope, the annual volumes deal primarily with economic and political issues and the unity between them. Both theoretical and empirical works are included. While published papers must be appropriate for developing class analysis of society, they need not be explicitly marxist. The RESEARCH can accept longer works and thus, in addition to usual journal length papers, may be appropriate for work which is not book length, yet is substantial. For submissions, please send your paper electronically, double-spaced typed with notes as endnotes followed by a reference list, to a volume's editor or either of the series editors. Usual practice is review by two competent persons, on a double-blind basis, within a relatively short period of time. Guest editoship for a entire volume are also welcome.
