Abstract

This book is both academic and political in its making. It represents a larger process of reconfiguring and renewing European social democracy. Both of us were part of a group of people who met in Berlin in the winter of 2008. Leading the initiative were two rising political stars: Andrea Nahles who was then the elected Vice-President of the SPD and Jon Cruddas Labour member of parliament (MP) for Dagenham and Rainham. Cruddas had established himself as a politician of national significance during the 2007 campaign for the deputy leadership of the Labour Party.
