In the Name of Social Democracy

democratic history: the core dominant reformist tendency of working-class politics notwithstanding, capitalism has transformed social democracy more than it has succeeded in transforming capitalism. Now, in the 'great transformation' of recent years; a process of de-social-democratisation' has been set in train, affecting every aspect of the social-democratic phenomenon, from ideology and programmes to organisation and electorates. Analytically incisive and empirically meticulous, In the Name of Social Democracy will establish itself as the standard reference work on the logic and dynamics of a major mutation in European politics.
