Where Social-democratic Parties are going after the Berlin Wall Crash -- Chapter 2: A Brief History of the Italian Democratic Party and its (declining) support -- Chapter 3: New Labour and the Italian PD -- Chapter 4: Ten Secretaries in Fifteen years: Leadership and Organizational Changes in a Party Victim of Cronos’ Syndrome -- Chapter 5: Back to the future: Reflections on prospects for the European left. In this intriguing book, professors Fasano, Natale and Newell offer a comprehensive and compelling discussion of the European left's evolution. As the left grapples with its historical legacy and attempts to connect with voters in a changing political landscape, the authors examine the journey of the Italian Democratic Party (PD) from its inception to the present day, shedding light on its evolution and struggles. Drawing a fascinating parallel with the UK's New Labour, the book explores the challenges faced by these parties as they navigate their post-communist heritage. A timely exploration of social-democratic politics in an era of populism, this book is a must-read for political enthusiasts, scholars, and anyone interested in the changing landscape of the left in all the European countries.
