  New Left   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-06)
In the United States, the "New Left" was the name loosely associated with a radical political movement that took place in the during the 1960s, primarily among college students.
The New Left opposed the prevailing authority structures in society, which it termed "The Establishment," and those who rejected this authority became known as "anti-Establishment." The New Left avoided recruiting industrial workers, and concentrated on a social activist approach to organizing.
Loosely associated with the New Left was the Berkeley Free Speech Movement which began in 1964 as a coalition of student groups opposing restrictions to leftist political activity on campus.

In 1960 in the UK, the editors of the New Reasoner and the Universities and Left Review merged their boards and formed the New Left Review.
The Universities and Left Review grew out of the Suez crisis in 1956; their journal centred on a rejection of the dominant 'revisionist' orthodoxy within the Labour Party.
Together they would be at the forefront of the New Left in Britain, with the New Left Review as their theoretical journal.

 Bell's End of Ideology (chapter 13)
It is, like Universities and Left Review in England and Arguments in France, at odds with the doctrinaire interpretation of orthodox Marxism, and at one with the search for a new socialist humanism.
Universities and Left Review and Arguments represent a new generation with all the earnestness and questing freshness of the young; Dissent is a magazine of the epigone, the after-born, jejune, and weary.
Universities and Left Review and Arguments are intense, frenetic, naive, bursting out with a new sense of autodidact wonder about theoretical issues that had been wrangled over by the Left twenty years before; Dissent is querulous, scornful, magisterial, sectarian, yet infinitely more sophisticated.

 Northern Ireland Assembly Official Report - Monday 19 June 2000
The universities will be asked to submit their institutional strategic plans and proposals for research by the autumn of this year, and decisions will be made on funding by November.
The intention is that the additional investment will enable the universities to fund the highest priorities within their strategic plans which are judged by the panel to be of or to be capable of attaining an international level of quality.
Obviously, it is a matter for the universities to decide how their projects are staffed, but I would like to think that research students will be among the staff of the various projects and that we will not neglect the need to develop the next generation of researchers.

 New Left
In terms of their actions, the British New Left concentrated on the Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament and the hypocrisy of the Soviet Union and allied countries.
The organization that came to embody the New Left was the Students for a Democratic Society (SDS).
During the late 1960s, the SDS began to split under the strain of internal dissension and increasing penetration by Maoist ideologues, and some extremist splinter factions emerged, such as the Weather Underground and the Progressive Labor Party.

 Peter Sedgwick: The Two New Lefts (1964)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-06)
From the rostrum of the Universities and Left Review Club, Isaac Deutscher prophesied to his eager audience that the coming decade would be ‘known to posterity as the Red Sixties’; the slogan was taken up, made into the title of a pamphlet that was endorsed by a score of Labour MPs.
The confederate New Left fell apart in the autumn of 1961; the explosion was characteristically muffled.
The protestations of New Left writers in favour of ‘workers’ control’ rest upon a suspect distinction between the control of wages and the control of conditions, the former being hived off for statized determination, the latter being left for the shop-stewards to practise in ‘encroachment’ at factory level.

 Bert Cochran, "New Horizons for European Socialism"   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-06)
In Britain the development of the New Left was marked by institutional milestones in the form of influential journals whose changes of content style record the trajectory of this movement through its various permutations.
Looking back on his experience some years later, he spoke of various differences between the two: the ULR people were less interested in the history and traditions of the international left than in the rapidly changing society of Britain, and more interested in a changing cultural experience than in political activism.
More significantly, he concluded that the New Left and especially the younger generation, in its preoccupation with all that had changed in Britain with the advent of consumer capitalism, seriously underestimated all that had remained the same, miscalculating the power of the capitalist state and overestimating the possibilities of cultural politics.

 Bryan D. Palmer | Reasoning Rebellion: E.P. Thompson, British Marxist Historians, and the Making of Dissident Political ...
Kiernan's extended review of Raymond Williams' Cultural and Society (1958) is perhaps the most developed Marxist historical engagement with a cultural topic in the pages of The New Reasoner, and is noteworthy as stamping the reasoner rebellion of 1956–1959 with some of the common features later to be designated essentials of the British Marxist historians.
Thus, the revived left dissidence that Thompson proposed had to guard against all tendencies to become an alternative faction, party, or leadership; it had to resist the pressures to propose itself as an organized replacement for already standing groups, institutions, campaigns, and movements, all of which deserved the support of socialists.
New Left Clubs, which had gone up with such a bang in 1958–1959, never managed to negotiate their way out of a dilemma that saw their strength and resiliency simultaneously rooted in local concerns and initiatives, but dependent on the sustaining continuity provided by a national centre.

 A Brief History of New Left Review   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-06)
In the same years, the Review initiated the series of translations and expositions of 'Western Marxist' texts, from Gramsci, Lukács and Korsch onwards, that were to become one of its principal strands.
The Review found itself somewhat isolated on the Left, arguing for British membership of the European Community; a special issue on this theme by Tom Nairn was subsequently republished as a Penguin Special.
Politically, unlike much of the left, the Review had no truck with the neo-imperialist or 'humanitarian' interventions of the period, attacking Allied interventions in the Gulf and the Balkans without remission (Robert Brenner and Peter Gowan on the war against Iraq; Tariq Ali, Robin Blackburn, Edward Said and Peter Gowan on the war against Yugoslavia).

 Book Review - 65.4 - Brook   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-06)
Her emphasis on reading Stead, Lessing, and Gordimer as political novelists, and on the various engagements of these authors with left politics, is refreshing, particularly in the case of Stead and Lessing, whose concern with left politics is sometimes overlooked when they are read purely as "women writers."
Lessing was on the editorial board of New Left Review when Hall was editor, but her novels were not reviewed by the journal or its precursor, Universities and Left Review.
This could be answered in various ways; one additional similarity between these authors, besides their gender and status as "colonials," is their engagement with the left, which might also have produced similarities in their engagement with gender and nationality.

 Economics Journals -- A chronology
The reviews that emerged in Great Britain in the early 19th Century were generally mass literary and political journals.
However, nearing the turn of the century, there emerged a series of "new" research universities along Continental lines, such as Johns Hopkins, Chicago, M.I.T. and the L.S.E. The research needs and the competitive spirit of these fledgling institutions encouraged the exploration of various avenues by which to make their institutional mark on the academic landscape.
At every step, their efforts were copied by the older universities such as Cambridge, Harvard and Yale who were eager not to be left behind and, in the process, reinvented themselves as research schools.
