内容説明

Sweden's social democratic movement is widely regarded as the most successful of its kind in the world. Its success is often attributed to its pragmatism rather than its consistent ideological commitment. In this book Tim Tilton argues that, on the contrary, Sweden's distinctive economic and social policies cannot be understood apart from the ideological convictions of several generations of political leaders and theorists. By examining the thinking of the major figures who have shaped Swedish social democracy, but whose published work is largely unavailable outside Sweden - including Hjalmar Branting, Gunnar Myrdal and Olof Palme - Professor Tilton paints a picture of the convictions and commitment of Swedish social democratic leaders. "The Political Theory of Swedish Social Democracy" provides an up-to-date survey of the party's ideological development from its origins in the 1880s until the present. The study will be of interest to all those concerned about the development of the social democratic ideals of the mixed economy and the welfare state in the UK and Europe.
