| Résumé : | The first part of this article explores the historic controversies that divided progressive movements in Europe over the issue of social change and more specifically the opposition between 'materialists' and 'idealists': put simply, while the first gave priority to economic structures and material interests, the second highlighted autonomous human action and ideas in explaining social progress. In the second part, this article argues that a particular articulation between interests and ideas constitutes a decisive driving force of social change. This renewed conception aims at overcoming both economic determinism and idealist biases by considering that a convincing ideology can provoke interests based mobilizations and political support for progressive change. © 2012 Taylor & Francis. |
