Delivery time is estimated on our previous experiences. We give estimations only, because we order from outside Hungary, and the delivery time mainly depends on how quickly the publisher supplies the book. Faster or slower deliveries both happen, but we do our best to supply as quickly as possible.

Short description:
A new understanding of social democracy, emphasising its practical orientation and the varied choices that social democratic actors make.
MoreLong description:
Practical Social Democracy develops a novel approach to reformist politics that is centred on the practical challenges parties face in navigating competing priorities across key dimensions of their activities. Containing comparative chapters and case studies of a range of countries and thematic areas by world-leading experts, it demonstrates how this approach can enrich debates about the contemporary challenges of social democracy as well as its historical evolution. The volume sheds light on patterns of social democratic policy-making and on the role of language, rhetoric, and ideology. By focusing on social democracy as one of the most important party families, the contributors elucidate key dilemmas confronting any political party and their role in democratic politics both in the traditional heartland of social democracy in Western Europe and beyond. An essential resource for scholars and students of social democracy, party politics, and European politics and political development.
'As there is no way back for Social Democracy to its 20th century heydays, this book asks what concrete, practical social democratic reformism implies in the 21st century. Practical Social Democracy is a fantastic, much-needed addition to current research on the future of social democratic parties, which remains too often focused on electoral performance. Uniting contributions from a stellar team of leading experts, the book takes the historical and current political challenges and constraints social democratic parties confront seriously and studies social democratic reform politics and policies across European countries. It is essential reading for anyone eager to move towards a constructive focus on the potential and practice of social democratic ideas in our times.' Silja H&&&228;usermann, Professor of Political Science, University of Zurich, Switzerland
