Rediscovering the Hamburg Workers’ and Soldiers’ Councils
No full textThis is the author accepted manusciptThis chapter aims to shed new light on our understanding of the development of council theory through an analysis of the early political experiences of council delegates in Hamburg at a formative stage of revolutionary activity and thought in Germany. We examine the minutes of 76 meetings of the Workers’ and Soldiers’ Council of Hamburg from 6 November 1918 to 24 March 1919 in order to offer a rich portrait of a key moment in the development of council theory. What we observe from the debates is that there is no single official position of council communism, but rather a set of shared underlying concerns and a number of different ways in which these ideas were put to work in different political contexts. The collapse of the legitimacy and authority of the old order and the organisation of councils into a force capable of taking de facto power opened the possibility of radical transformation. Yet attempts to theorise and create a new society were impeded both by ideological hesitation and the practical realities of attempting to govern in a divided and conflict-ridden society. The actions and theories of council delegates reflected a number of pragmatic compromises and competing interpretations over the proper structure and role for the councils

Council Democracy: Towards a Democratic Socialist Politics
Get PDFThis is the author accepted manuscript. The final version is available from Taylor & Francis (Routledge) via the DOI in this record.This introductory chapter provides an outline of the main contours of a theory of council democracy and offers a preliminary sketch of council democracy’s relationship with the major strands of democratic theory. Council democracy is a project of deepening democracy which includes the decentralisation of the state, democratisation of the economy and solidarity with similar international struggles for self-government. Council democrats view capitalist market relations as something that not only have to be tamed, but transformed in a manner which alters the underlying relationship between capital and labour and eliminates capitalists’ controlling power over workers and the state

Exploring the Entrepreneurial Jungle: Unicorns, Gazelles, Zebras, and Other Venture Species
Get PDFThis paper proposes pioneering the exploration of new entrepreneurial species as a novel and essential research avenue within the entrepreneurship domain. By likening entrepreneurial ventures to diverse species inhabiting a jungle, the study ventures into unexplored territories of entrepreneurial taxonomy. It advocates delving into distinct classifications such as unicorns, zebras, and gazelles, offering a fresh perspective on their impact on economies and societies. The research argues for the relevance of these unique ventures, emphasizing their significant influence on entrepreneurial thought and challenging traditional theories. By shedding light on uncharted species and their inter-relationships, the paper opens promising avenues for future research, contributing to the evolving landscape of entrepreneurship studies
