Democratic socialism

the long version

From the Blurb: With continuing economic crises and international political instability, as well as a growing awareness of the importance of Third World problems, European socialists have begun to sense that social change is again realistically on the agenda. The rebirth of a left-wing socialism within European social democracy and on its left fringes, the current dilemmas and challenges it faces, and its changing posture with regard to the non-European world are the subject of this book. Edited by one of the leading scholar-activists in the field, this volume includes major contributions from different parts of the Eurosocialist world, with analysis of developments of the postwar period in Western Europe as a whole and in several specific countries. The prospects for a similar political development in the U.S. are explored, as are the policy questions faced by the United States vis a vis the resurgence of Eurosocialism.
