Special Issue on Imperialism and War

Critique is looking for innovative essays around the topic of Imperialism and War, to mark the 100th anniversary of the First World War. In principle, essays can be historical, political, political economic or interdisciplinary and should be very roughly 8,000 to 12,000 words in length If we get more than can fit into one issue we will run to as many issues as are needed to do justice to the subject.

The 40th Anniversary Virtual Edition 2013

As the first Virtual Special Issue of Critique, we have selected articles which have either formed the basis of the work of the journal or which complement it. In the first instance Critique sought to develop a more credible modern Marxist theory of the USSR and of the Cold War. With that it needed to update the theory of a socialist/Communist society. In turn, the journal turned to a critique of existing Marxist theory of capitalism and so to the question of decline and to finance capitalism.
