What kind of Europe do social democratic parties prefer? What is
the origin of their preferences? Are they shaped by interests,
institutions or ideas? If so, how? Why do social democratic
political parties respond differently to the crucial question of
the future of the European Union? While many social democratic
parties initially opposed European integration either in principle
or because of the form it took, gradually they came to lend their
full, though often critical, support to it. Despite this evolution,
important differences between them have remained. This book
examines the preferences of social democratic parties in Germany,
France, the UK, Sweden and Greece towards European integration, in
comparative perspective. Using a variety of sources, including
interviews with key party officials, the contributors explore what
kind of Europe these parties want, and seek to explain the
formation and evolution of these preferences over time. They
examine the interplay of national peculiarities and cross-national
factors and their impact on preferences on European integration. In
addition to highlighting the role of party leaders, they reveal
that, far from being united on European integration, these parties
disagree with each other in part because they have retreated - to
varying degrees - from key social democratic principles. Making an
important contribution to the scholarship on preference formation
and the research that links the European Union with the nation
state, it will be of interest to students and scholars of the EU,
comparative politics and political parties.
