Tornquist Olle (University Of Oslo Norway) - In Search Of New Social Democracy Insights From The South Implications For The North - Paperback

Binding: Paperback
Description: Why is the classical social democratic vision of development based on social justice by democratic means losing ground? Why was it so difficult to renew even in the context of the third wave of democracy in the South? How does this matter in the North too and how might it be reinvented? This accessible book brings to life major insights gained through written sources and interviews with a large range of activists and political protagonists in the southern cases of Indonesia India and the Philippines but also in the northern social democratic stronghold of Sweden. By considering the experiences in view of the basics of Social Democracy and a broader comparative framework Olle T rnquist arrives at globally relevant conclusions. Crucially T rnquist also puts forward suggestions for how to achieve this reinvention social democracy. Through implementation of broad alliances in the Global South supported by the Global North for transformative rights and welfare reforms universal participatory and impartially implemented - precursors to social economic growth pacts can thus be effected.
