Ticket to the world
The two persons, besides my parents, who influenced my path in life were an American president and a Swedish murderer. If it were not for these two people, my life would have gone in a different direction... I would have lived in a parallel universe... I would have lived a different life. But now my life had been given a direction. This is the life I am going to tell you about in this book. A life in the fast lane. A life on the move. A life in many countries. This is the story of a man who left his country to explore the world.
Aldrig ensam alltid ensam : samtalen med Göran Persson 1996-2006
Aldrig ensam, alltid ensam är en intervjubok och en dokumentation över statsminister Göran Perssons tio år vid makten, 1996 2006. Aldrig tidigare hade en journalist under så lång tid och så nära kunnat följa en sittande regeringschef. 57 intervjuer spelades in för en tv-dokumentär som sändes efter att Persson avgått. Det blev omkring etthundra timmar samtal mellan Persson och SVT-journalisten Erik Fichtelius, som förutom tv-filmen också redigerade det digra materialet till denna bok, som ursprungligen utkom 2007. Här berättar Göran Persson med stigande uppriktighet om sina möten med utländska ledare, hur han bildat sina regeringar och tänkt kring sina ministrar. Han beskriver sin ilska över oppositionspolitiker och sin frustration över medierna. Vi får följa honom i triumfen som EU:s ordförande och i katastrofen i EMU-valet. Han berättar om sorgen efter Anna Lindh och svårigheten att hitta en efterträdare. Han intervjuas några dagar efter tsunamikatastrofen och om sin relation till kungen. Han formulerar sina visioner och talar om vad som blev av alla drömmar. Boken formar en berättelse om en dramatisk tioårsperiod som tog slut i september 2006.
The Balkans: Foreign Direct Investment and EU Accession
The fall of communism and subsequent developments have put a renewed spotlight on the potential of the Balkan economies. Bulgaria, Albania, Serbia & Montenegro, Romania and the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia are countries which have attracted low levels of investment and poor political leadership in most of the countries has delayed much needed reforms. However, there are now signs of improvement and this timely book fills a significant gap in the available literature. Demonstrating that these countries must engage as fully as possible with the world economy via EU accession, this book explores the implications of the specific characteristics of these countries which have made the transition process more difficult. This exciting new volume is valuable reading for students, academics and business professionals interested in international development in the Balkans.
The Library and the Workshop
This book offers a detailed account of the way that social democracy today makes sense of capitalism. In particular, it challenges the idea that social democracy has gone "neoliberal," arguing that so-called Third Way policies seem to have brought out new aspects of a thoroughgoing social interventionism with roots deep in the history of social democracy. Author Jenny Andersson expertly develops the claim that what distinguishes today's social democracy from the past is the way that it equates cultural and social values with economic values, which in turn places a premium on individuals who are capable of succeeding in the knowledge economy. Offering an insightful study of Britain's New Labour and Sweden's SAP, and of the political cultural transformations that have taken place in those countries, this is the first book that looks seriously into how the economic, social, and cultural policies of contemporary social democracy fit together to form a particular understanding of capitalism and capitalist politics.
The Death of Social Democracy
Whereas many writers and scholars interested in the field of social democracy have focused on factors such as the role of economic globalization and electoral pressures, Ashley Lavelle explores the importance of the collapse of the post-war economic boom and lower growth rates since then. He examines how these pressures have led social democrats to embrace neo-liberal policies and become threatened by minor parties and independent politicians. Providing an original argument about the decline of social democracy, the author investigates how its decline has increased the popularity of minor parties and independents, along with the reasons for social democratic membership and electoral decline. This is an important book for scholars of social democracy and the broader themes of world politics, political parties, social movements and globalization.
