• Sommario/riassunto: This book, originally published in 1978, constitutes a genuinely comparative study of the world's only truly successful democratic socialist parties: the Social Democratic Parties of Denmark, Norway and Sweden. The measure of achievement is not merely political success, the fact that in Scandinavia the Social Democrats have become 'natural parties of government', for just as importantly, the author shows that a political success grounded on the symbiotic relationship between party and trade union movement has been the foundation for a higher level of welfare state provision.
