It's here! ✨📕 In Varieties of Social Democracy in Western Europe (Palgrave Macmillan @springernature.com), I show that the varying ideological differences between social democrats are primarily shaped by how external constraints are configured in their national context at a given time. 1/4

How to identify party families? @fedetrastulli.bsky.social advances a novel framework that shifts analytical focus from aggregate-level ideology to the bundles of historically rooted issues that define each family's ideological distinctiveness open.substack.com/pub/ipsrbrie...
