Description
The British Labour Party faces a period of crisis. A prolonged government from 1997 to 2010 left the party intellectually exhausted, and subsequent leadership ultimately failed with the loss of the 2015 General Election. To move forward, it is essential to re-examine the core principles of social democracy. Rebuilding Social Democracy examines the foundational principles of social democracy, including economic reform, equality, welfare, public service organisation, social cohesion, civil liberties, democratisation, and internationalism. Written by leading academics in the field, this book identifies the values and objectives needed to revive left and centre-left thought and practice in Britain as an alternative to Conservative austerity. By reappraising these key principles, Rebuilding Social Democracy offers a route back to political credibility for Labour and provides a fresh perspective on the future of social democracy.
