Today, parties descended from the Second International hold office throughout the European Union, while the Right appears widely disorientated by the dramatic \"modernisation\" of a political tradition dating back to the nineteenth century. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe focal point of Gerassimos Moschonas's study is the emergent \"new social democracy\" of the twenty-first century. As Moschonas demonstrates, change has been a constant of social-democratic history: the core dominant reformist tendency of working-class politic 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-democratization\" has been set in train, affecting every aspect of the social-democratic phenomenon, from ideology and programs to organization and electorates. Analytically incisive and empirically meticulous, \u003ci\u003eIn the Name of Social Democracy\u003c\/i\u003e will establish itself as the standard reference work on the logic and dynamics of a major mutation in European politics.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Verso\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/17\/2002\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781859843468\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 386\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.31lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.16h x 6.16w x 1.09d","brand":"Gerassimos Moschonas","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42362440057013,"sku":"9781859843468","price":21.21,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_22ab494b-6550-44f0-8bfc-a6ed44ca1d4c.jpg?v=1662435498","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/in-the-name-of-social-democracy-the-great-transformation-1945-to-the-present-9781859843468","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
