The Social Democratic party family is a central part of political
life in the West. This book focuses on this party family as well as
a unique political force in the industrialised world. It provides a
critical comparative survey of when, where, how and why Social
Democracy developed within established capitalist democracies. The
book explains the electoral fortunes of Social Democratic parties,
the influence of the party system dynamics and co-operation between
parties in government. It examines the ideological tensions within
Social Democratic parties between socialists and reformists and its
ramifications for pursuing a 'better and kinder' world. This study
also discusses the recent state of affairs and its mission in the
21st century. The book features a comparative analysis of 21 cases
from 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. It will be of key interest to students and scholars of
public policy, comparative politics, party politics and democracy
studies.
