Education
RMIT University, Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) Global, Urban and Social Studies- Thesis: 'Third Roads & Third Ways in Social Democracy 1848-1934' pass without any need for resubmission, 2011 - 2016.
- The PhD thesis concerned what in retrospect may be considered the 'radical Third Roads and Third Ways' of the Left during to 1848-1934 period.
- It spans from an introductory consideration of Marx and Engels and early socialism - to the likes of Ferdinand Lassalle, Eduard Bernstein, Rosa Luxemburg, Karl Kautsky, Lenin and Trotsky, and the Austro-Marxists. The thesis considers the ways in which some of these can be considered 'relative Third Ways or Third Roads' depending on context. The thesis also considers the associated history in light of various 'contested themes'. For example: voluntarism/determinism, principle/pragmatism and conflict/conciliation.[1]
