Although the Socialist or Social Democractic parties played a key
role in West European politics during the quarter century after the
Second World War, they have been studied far less than their
political rivals, the Christian Democrats. The story of West
European Social Democracy after 1945 begins with a dilemma:
Democratic marxism, which had been the parties' ideological and
organizational principle until the Second World War, was becoming
politically irrelevant. The three parties analyzed here represent
the spectrum of reactions among Social Democratic parties to this
realization. The debate over the parties' programs and ideologies
did not, of course, take place in a vacuum: the author devotes
considerable space to a comparative analysis of the parties'
leaders and organizational structures as well as the evolution of
Social Democratic domestic and foreign policies. Immensely
readable, this book not only offers an in-depth analysis of the
postwar period crucial for the history of Social Democracy but
also, because of its cross-national treatment of these three major
parties, adds significantly to our understanding of the processes
of European integration and the evolution of the Atlantic Alliance.
