Organized as a series of tightly linked, comparative assessments,
Mapping the West European Left provides a guide to the state of the
left in Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Germany, Britain, France, Italy
and Spain. While all the essays are detailed historical
compositions-setting recent crises and dilemmas in a longer
perspective reaching back into the postwar settlement-they
articulate original insights into the contemporary political
conjuncture. Why did Swedish social democracy lose hegemony and
direction while its Norwegian counterpart showed unexpected
resilience? What was the background to the Danish rebellion against
Maastricht? What are the prospects for the SPD and the Greens in
post-unification Germany? Should the British Labour Party embrace
electoral reform? What propelled the French Socialist Party from
triumph to disaster? And why did the Italian left fail to fill the
vacuum created by the collapse of the Christian Democrats? Behind
the questions explored by the contributors to Mapping the West
European Left lie deeper issues concerning the future of radical
politics in Europe after the repudiation of Keynesianism and the
end of communism. With the individual country analyses synthesized
by the editors in a concise and comprehensive introductory essay,
this book provides key pointers to the social forces and
ideological platforms that offer lines of advance to the left
today.
