With a keen focus on the paradigmatic examples set in the Nordic countries, where social democratic parties have historically held a strong position, the book explores the challenges they face in the modern political landscape. Despite their historical dominance, these parties have experienced a decline in recent years, partly due to the fierce competition posed by populist radical right parties. Moreover, the rise of populist radical right parties has had a detrimental impact on social democratic parties' ability to influence broader policy areas, as they often align themselves with liberal and conservative parties in parliament or governmental negotiations.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTo unravel the complexities of this evolving political landscape, the book offers a detailed empirical account of how social democratic parties and labor movement organizations, including unions, have responded to these challenges across Denmark, Sweden, Finland, and Norway. Through in-depth analysis and rigorous research, the book sheds light on the strategies, tactics, and ideological adaptations employed by these parties to regain their foothold and appeal to working-class voters.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis volume is of immense interest to scholars and researchers in the fields of party politics, comparative politics, Nordic politics, and the burgeoning study of the populist radical right. It provides valuable insights into the complex interplay between political ideologies, social movements, and the ever-changing dynamics of contemporary politics. By examining the responses of social democratic parties to the challenges posed by populist radical right parties, the book contributes to our understanding of the evolving political landscape and offers valuable lessons for policymakers and political actors alike.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 258g\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 234 x 156 (mm)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9780367502492\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Sanna Salo,Jens Rydgren","offers":[{"title":"Paperback \/ softback","offer_id":44105069461754,"sku":"9780367502492","price":40.98,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/products\/1674829127942_book.jpg?v=1675621952","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/the-battle-over-workingclass-voters-how-social-democracy-has-responded-to-the-populist-radical-right-in-the-nordic-countries-9780367502492","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
