Socialist Review (Australia)

The Australian IS group, at that time called the ISO, produced five issues of a theoretical journal in the early 1990s, aimed at consolidating the intellectual capital of the organisation after a fusion of Socialist Action with the International Socialists to form the ISO in 1990. Many of these articles are of enduring value, and we aim to make these available online as part of RFACs work.
