New Politics is an independent socialist journal. It was founded by Phyllis and Julius Jacobson in 1961. While publishing authors from a variety of leftist positions, the publication leans strongly toward a Third Camp, democratic Marxist perspective, to the left of the social democratic views in the journal Dissent and rooted in the Jacobsons' former membership in the Independent Socialist League. It is perhaps best known for having published the seminal article by Hal Draper, "The Two Souls of Socialism," in 1966.
New Politics has been in publication from 1961 up to the present, though not continuously. The first series ran from 1961 through 1976, after which it ceased publication for a decade. The journal was restarted in 1986 and has been in print since, publishing two issues per year. Julius Jacobson was co-editor until his death in 2003.
Contributors have included Sidney Lens, Noam Chomsky, Stephen Eric Bronner, Herbert Hill, Tony Cliff, Howard Zinn, Murray Bookchin, Janet Biehl, Hal Draper, Stephen Steinberg, Saskia Sassen, Stanley Aronowitz, Christopher Phelps, Steve Shalom, Eric Chester and Ellen Willis.
