Summary/Abstract: While not accepting the judgment that peace movements have died in the aftermath of the Cold war, the author attempts to examine why their influence is limited. She examines three possible explanatory dimensions: betrayal of their own principles, defeats suffered in colliding with the power of the state, and the vast complexity of the really existing circumstances, i.e. the nature of the crisis that erodes transformative capacities of movements.
