Synopsis

'Frontier markets' is a way of describing the places where the boundaries between public and private are most contested. In Soundings 28 contributors explore some of the political and social implications of the drive to draw every aspect of life into the commercial embrace. Bronwen Morgan looks at the contradictory aspects of water's life as a commodity; Brendan Martin describes some of the conditions needed for public organisations to survive the onslaught of business interests; Liz Moor looks at brands and identity; David Purdy argues for a more truly mixed economy; Chantal Mouffe writes on the need for pluralism in international politics; and Richard Johnson argues that gender is a key to understanding the politics of Bush and Blair. On other issues: Norman Birnbaum and Richard Rorty each discuss the state of the US left; Alessandra Buonfino argues that the European Union is pursuing lowest common denominator politics on immigration; George Irvin argues for a rejection of dogmatic neo-liberalism in European economic policy; Csaba Deak analyses the performance of the Lula government; Michele Sedgwick and Judith Rugg look at the tourist transformation of Spain; and Michael Rustin and Jonathan Rutherford discuss the future prospects of social democracy.
