In "What's Left of the Left," distinguished scholars of European
and U.S. politics consider how center-left political parties have
fared since the 1970s. They explore the left's responses to the end
of the postwar economic boom, the collapse of the Soviet Union, the
erosion of traditional party politics, the expansion of market
globalization, and the shift to a knowledge-based economy. Their
comparative studies of center-left politics in Scandinavia, France,
Germany, southern Europe, post-Cold War Central and Eastern Europe,
the United Kingdom, and the United States emphasize differences in
the goals of left political parties and in the political, economic,
and demographic contexts in which they operate. The contributors
identify and investigate the more successful center-left
initiatives, scrutinizing how some conditions facilitated them,
while others blocked their emergence or limited their efficacy. In
the contemporary era of slow growth, tight budgets, and rapid
technological change, the center-left faces pressing policy
concerns, including immigration, the growing population of the
working poor, and the fate of the European Union. This collection
suggests that such matters present the left with daunting but by no
means insurmountable challenges.
