Social Democracy in the Global Periphery
Origins, Challenges, Prospects
Richard Sandbrook, Marc Edelman, Patrick Heller, Judith Teichman

£17.99

Studies how and why socio-economic development combines with democracy in some capitalist developing countries.

‘This impressive collaborative effort crosses disciplinary and regional boundaries to knock the conventional wisdom that globalization has made social democracy impossible on the periphery back on its heels. Grounding their analysis on four fascinating cases that span the globe, the four authors make a compelling case for the possibility of peripheral social democracy. Their book should be required reading for policy-makers and scholars alike.’ Peter Evans, University of California, Berkeley
