S. Thomson

The Social Democratic Dilemma

Ideology, Governance and Globalization

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

This book examines the development of social democratic parties in Western Europe and suggests that instead of viewing a single model, in the past it was more accurate to consider a Northern and Southern European version. Each model varied in its characteristics, yet each retained an adherence to the same core values. But now a 'new' version of social democracy is emerging that is characterised by an advocacy of the tenets of neo-liberalism.
