{"product_id":"in-the-name-of-social-democracy","title":"In the Name of Social Democracy","description":"Following the locust years of the neo-liberal revolution, social democracy was the great victor at the \u003ci\u003efin-de-siècle\u003c\/i\u003e elections. 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\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.","brand":"Verso Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54263180263768,"sku":"9781859843468","price":29.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9781859843468.jpg?v=1765672218","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/in-the-name-of-social-democracy","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
