Theoretical contributions
Throughout the corpus of his
work, Stephen Bronner ties together the tradition of
political theory and theorists within their social,
political, cultural and historical contexts, offering
critical reflections, and from that tradition seeks to
establish its salience to both meet the challenges and
forge the shape of the next millennium.[citation
needed]
Through his interpretive and critical analyses combined
with a creative blend of old traditions with new
commitments and values, he articulates the potential
contributions of this tradition for developing a
genuinely progressive politics that squarely confronts a
host of issues facing modern society and engages the
future with a new international (or "planetary")
outlook combined with a "cosmopolitan sensibility."[citation
