This publication examines the previous internationalism of labour and socialists and the current one of many new radical-democratic social hobbies (such as womens hobbies and feminism).

And whilst the industrial and petty-bourgeoisie was primarily occupied with nation- or 17 GLOBALIZATION, SOCIAL MOVEMENTS AND THE NEW INTERNATIONALISMS state-building, the labour movement was more concerned with social transformation (Billington, 1980; Guerena, 1988; Hobsbawm, 1988; Johnson, 1979; Logue, 1980).
