  This issue of Soundings focuses on the current international relations crisis, and on beginning an in-depth critique of 'Blairism', particularly its ambivalent relationship to public services. There is also a special section on the left and history. Michael Rustin discusses global democracy and the Iraq crisis; Ali Ansari writes on democratisation in Iran; Costis Hadjimichalis and Ray Hudson look at post-modern imperialism and the project of European political integration; and Laura Agustin writes on gender and migration. Christian Wolmar surveys the wreckage caused by teh Government's transport policies; Alan Finlaysonanalyses New Labour's excessive use of the term modernisation; and G.C.Harcourt argues for a more co-operative approach to wages and management. Geoff Andrew, Kevin Morgan, Ilaria Favretto, Maud Bracke, John Callaghan and Willie Thompson write on why History is important for the left.
