A new article by Christian Fleck is out in the Austrian Journal of Historical Studies

A new article by IGITI Chief Reseach Fellow Christian Fleck on social democracy was published in the Austrian Journal of Historical Studies (Österreichische Zeitschrift für Geschichtswissenschaften). See the abstract.

The article "The End of Social Democracy?" is written by Christian Fleck and Marianne Egger de Campo.
The article traces the history of the social democratic movement in the 20th century around the Europe in order to scrutinize its modern-day problems, particularly of electoral decline. Authors show how social democrats ceased to be leaders of the mass labor movement for the general democratization, welfare state and European integration. They conclude that today’s social democratic parties are comparatively loose organizations  with vague programs and limited ambition for social change.
