This book explains the contrasting strategies and their electoral
fortunes of social democratic parties in the major European
democracies in the 1970s and 1980s. Going beyond approaches that focus
on the influence of class structure and political economic
institutions, The Transformation of European Social Democracy analyses
the party's competitive situation in the electoral arena, the
constraints and opportunities of party organisation, and the role of
ideological legacies to explain the strategic choices social
democratic parties have made and the electoral results they have
achieved. Far from being doomed to decline, social democracy's success
depends on its ability to transform its political message and to
construct new electoral coalitions.
