{"product_id":"9781784787974","title":"In the Name of Social Democracy: The Great Transformation, 1945 to the Present","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","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47140068327664,"sku":"9781784787974","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781784787974_p0.jpg?v=1763726652","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781784787974","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
