Why is the classical social democratic vision of development based
on social justice by democratic means losing ground? Why was it so
difficult to renew, even in the context of the third wave of
democracy in the South? How does this matter in the North too, and
how might it be reinvented? This accessible book brings to life
major insights gained through written sources and interviews with a
large range of activists and political protagonists in the southern
cases of Indonesia, India, and the Philippines - but also in the
northern social democratic stronghold of Sweden. By considering the
experiences in view of the basics of Social Democracy and a broader
comparative framework, Olle Toernquist arrives at globally relevant
conclusions. Crucially, Toernquist also puts forward suggestions
for how to achieve this reinvention social democracy. Through
implementation of broad alliances in the Global South, supported by
the Global North, for transformative rights and welfare reforms -
universal, participatory and impartially implemented - precursors
to social economic growth pacts can thus be effected.
