Beskrivning

Beyond Social Democracy examines the electoral decline of social democratic parties and how distinctive strategic moves might enable them to salvage different segments of their former electoral coalitions. Social democratic decline, however, does not imply the demise of basic tenets of the parties' programmatic appeals. Under the impact of novel twenty-first-century political-economic challenges, these concerns are also invoked and repackaged with new ideas by novel left parties. Empirically, voter movements show that social democratic parties incur net losses mostly to these other leftist parties, while sustaining a balanced, but voluminous exchange with center-right parties. Contrary to commonly held preconceptions, there is little net loss to the new extreme Right. These findings will be pertinent to anyone interested in understanding or devising party strategies in twenty-first-century democracies. This title is also available as Open Access on Cambridge Core.

Recensioner i media

'Beyond Social Democracy will be the reference for anyone studying social democracy and party system change in established democracies in the coming years. The introduction sets the stage with a brilliant theory of the temporalities of the transformation of the left; the different empirical chapters make use of different types of data and estimation strategies to provide evidence of the strategic dilemma that social democratic parties are in; and the result is an edited volume that is exceptionally coherent, theoretically ground-breaking and empirically extremely well conducted.' Ruth Dassonneville, Canada Research Chair in Electoral Democracy, Université de Montréal
