Offering a comparative look at social democratic experience since theCold War, the volume examines countries where social democracy has longbeen an influential political force - Sweden, Germany, Britain,and Australia - while also considering the history ofCanada's NDP and the emergence of New Left parties in Germany andthe province of Quebec. The case studies point to a social democracythat has confirmed its rupture with the postwar order and its role asthe primary political representative of workingclass interests. Oncemarked by redistributive and egalitarian policy perspectives, socialdemocracy has, the book argues, assumed a new role - that of amodernizing force advancing the neoliberal cause.
