N1 - 92 N2 - The Second International struggles to reach an ideological and institutional stage capable of taking over from the metropolitan parties in the treatment of colonialism. The International Socialist Bureau (ISB) must be proactive in affirming its prerogatives of initiative and coordination beyond the sovereignty of the national parties. Colonial crises become a learning ground for the modalities, contents and limits of the supranational impulse of transnational, homogenous and simultaneous protest mobilizations, prefiguring a progressive enlargement of the mandate of the ISB. The latter is also able to outline attempts to include closely and directly the socialist groups of the colonies in the structures of the International, in order to overcome the traditionally bilateral but unequal relations that they maintained with their respective metropolitan parties. Finally, when the category of colonialism loses its analytic autonomy to be included in the broader category of peace, the ISB manages to oppose a truly international policy against the colonial adventures that weaken the European equilibrium UR - https://shs.cairn.info/journal-cahiers-jaures-2020-3-page-27?lang=en&redirect-ssocas=7080 ER -
