About the Book:
The Social Democratic party family plays a central role in political life in Western democracies. In this book, Hans Keman provides a critical, comparative survey of the development of Social Democracy within established capitalist democracies. He explores when, where, how, and why Social Democratic parties emerged as a unique and influential political force.
Keman examines the electoral fortunes of these parties, the dynamics of party systems, and cooperation between parties in government. He also explores the ideological tensions within Social Democratic parties, specifically between socialists and reformists, and the implications of these tensions for the pursuit of a 'better and kinder' world. The book also looks at the state of Social Democracy in the 21st century, offering a timely analysis of its mission and future.
With a comparative analysis of 21 countries, including Australia, Austria, Belgium, Canada, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Ireland, Italy, Japan, Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Portugal, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, the UK, and the United States, this book is essential for students and scholars of public policy, comparative politics, party politics, and democracy studies.
