The future of social democracy

European social democracy is in desperate need of a period of ideological renewal. In order to reconnect with voters and regain widespread support it will have to reconcile its values with new and emerging socio-economic trends. To this end, Policy Network, the international progressive thinktank, and the Wiardi Beckman Stichting, the Dutch social democratic thinktank, have jointly initiated a new process of reflection and strategic thinking.
