Radical Municipalism offers a fresh perspective on the democratizing capacity of the politics of the common in the transformation of public services, aiming to foster social change at the local level and beyond.

Building on a strong theoretical foundation and featuring 15 original case studies from Europe and the Americas, the chapters explore the challenges and possibilities of implementing common-based strategies. A unique and vital resource, this book is essential for scholars and activists interested in the democratic road to socialism as an alternative to capitalism.
