About This Book
The centre left is at a crossroads. Social democracy as a model for social and economic organisation was one of the most remarkable achievements of the 20 th Century. Yet today, it comes short of offering attractive and credible new ideas that address the challenges of contemporary societies. Navigating this juncture will be crucial to the centre left’s future as the traditional ties that bound its support unravel. By championing flexible service provision models and a more deliberative form of democracy, progressives can make citizens feel they have a tangible stake in their future. This volume does not claim to have all the answers, but it has gathered ideas which provide the groundwork for reframing the debate. It offers new routes towards a state which is fit for the century it serves and a framework for an engaged and educated citizenry.
