Synopsis
Although the Socialist or Social Democractic parties played a key role in West European politics during the quarter century after the Second World War, they have been studied far less than their political rivals, the Christian Democrats. The story of West European Social Democracy after 1945 begins with a dilemma: Democratic marxism, which had been the parties' ideological and organizational principle until the Second World War, was becoming politically irrelevant. The three parties analyzed here represent the spectrum of reactions among Social Democratic parties to this realization. The debate over the parties' programs and ideologies did not, of course, take place in a vacuum: the author devotes considerable space to a comparative analysis of the parties' leaders and organizational structures as well as the evolution of Social Democratic domestic and foreign policies. Immensely readable, this book not only offers an in-depth analysis of the postwar period crucial for the history of Social Democracy but also, because of its cross-national treatment of these three major parties, adds significantly to our understanding of the processes of European integration and the evolution of the Atlantic Alliance.

    I value transparency with Ebay sellers - and this seller was 110% transparent about the condition of the item and what to expect as documented through photos and description. (A used and flawed but beautiful signed book). This was a d--n good value for the money. The seller was honest about the authenticity of the signature and the edition, the item arrived swiftly and was well packaged. I have no complaints and would buy from this person again. I'm delighted to own this. Thank you!

    Seller combined multiple orders into one package - Super fast shipping! Packaged well. Magazine is as described and shown - there is indeed minor staining (?) at the top right edge of some pages and the covers were loose around the top staple. Still decent value. THANKS for the deals!
