Information about the book
Peter Stadius, Alan Granadino and Stefan Nygård are the authors of the book Rethinking European Social Democracy and Socialism. The history of the Centre-Left in Nothern and Southern Europe in the Late 20th Century.
In this book they give a nuanced narrative of the change for European social democracy through chronological, methodological and geographical approaches.
With a combined focus on social democrats in Northern and Southern Europe, this book crucially broadens our understanding of the transformation of European social democracy from the mid-1970s to the early-1990s. In doing so, it revisits the transformation of this ideological family at the end of the Cold War, and before the launch of Third Way politics, and examines the dynamics and power relations at play among European social democratic parties in a context of nascent globalisation.
The book will be of interest to scholars and students of social democracy, the European Centre-left, political parties, ideologies and more broadly to comparative politics and European politics and history.
