The defeat of the John Howard was followed by the demise of his ally in the United States, George W Bush, seemingly signalling the end of an era. Two years later, with the benefit of hindsight, this issue of the Journal of Cosmopolitan Civil Societies rethinks the political landscape, and assesses forces and possibilities for social and political change in Australia. Neo-conservatism may be in the history books, but what replaced it? What next for political and social movements: how can they build their power; how do they produce allies, organisations, legitimacy, inspiration, vision?

It examines the way Indigenous rights have been contested against a colonial legal framework, first through the guiee of assimilation, various definitions of ‘reconciliation’, and self determination, and finally in the claim for land rights in New South Wales. It argues that the philosopher Martin Buber offers a means of achieving rights for everyone, through his I-Thou model of inter-subjectivity.
