Rethinking Social Democracy in Western Europe

First published in 1993. This title is the product of a conference designed to throw light on some central questions about the phase of programmatic renewal from the 1950s to the then-present-day. The evidence presented in this volume pursues to demonstrate the existence of a European 'wave' of social democratic programmatic renewal effort during the 1980s the sweep of which the author argues being broader than the previous renewal wave in the 1950s.
