Considering Pragma-Dialectics
Considering Pragma-Dialectics honors the monumental contributions of one of the foremost international figures in current argumentation scholarship: Frans van Eemeren. The volume presents the research efforts of his colleagues and addresses how their work relates to the pragma-dialectical theory of argumentation with which van Eemeren’s name is so intimately connected. This tribute serves to highlight the varied approaches to the study of argumentation and is destined to inspire researchers to advance scholarship in the field far into the future. Replete with contributions from highly-esteemed academics in argumentation study, chapters in this volume address such topics as: *Pragma-dialectic versus epistemic theories of arguing and arguments; *Pragma-dialectics and self-advocacy in physician-patient interactions; *The pragma-dialectical analysis of the ad hominem family; *Rhetoric, dialectic, and the functions of argument; and *The semantics of reasonableness. As an exceptional volume and a fitting tribute, this work will be of interest to all argumentation scholars considering the astute insights and scholarly legacy of Frans van Eemeren.

Reflections on Socialism in the Twenty-First Century
In this volume, the authors reflect on the question “what is socialism” as it pertains to today’s economy. There is particular emphasis on democratic socialism models as a potential alternative to classic authoritarian socialism. A number of topical questions are addressed such as: What is democratic socialism and is it feasible, or even viable? What can be learnt from existing democratic socialist experiences? What would an ideal democratic socialist society look like today? Under what circumstances, and where, could such a model emerge today? In exploring these questions, several themes arise within these chapters such as the role of socialist values and inspirations in capitalist so...
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 Rise and Fall of Swedish Social Democracy
Whatever happened to the poster child of European social democracy? For a young generation of socialists, the Swedish experience has been an obvious reference and inspiration. But what remains of the Swedish model today is, in fact, a failed project in decline. This book is the first comprehensive study of the rise and fall of one of the most influential political movements of our time. Ostberg depicts the rise of one of the 20th century's best organized labor movements and Sweden's development from one of Europe's poorest countries to one of the richest and with the most extensive welfare. During the last 90 years, Sweden had a social democratic prime minister for 72 years, including a 44 y...
År med Erlander
"Vill du börja arbeta på statsrådsberedningen, hos Tage Erlander?”Det var höst 1965 och jag hade just fyllt 23, Tage Erlander hade lett landet och socialdemokratin i ungefär lika många år.Erlander samlade ”sina pojkar” varje morgon. Han föreläste, kastade sig mellan komik och djup pessimism. Hans lärdom sträckte sig från atomfysik till modern absurd dramatik. ”Skriv något verkningsfullt”, bad han oss.Socialdemokraterna gjorde ett katastrofval 1966 och krav ställdes på Erlanders avgång.”Vi pojkar” fick följa Erlanders revansch. Han förnyade och radikaliserade sitt parti, lyssnade till 68-rörelsen, kritiskt men intresserat. Våndades över EU, krigshot från stormakterna och ofta över sin egen hälsa. 1968 ledde Erlander socialdemokratin till en överväldigande valseger. Den sista i partiets historia.Erlander lärde oss medarbetare att politik är den mest ”moraliska” av alla verksamheter och att en politiker bör vara på en gång folklig, intellektuell och ha humor. Åren hos Erlander var, politiskt och mänskligt de mest lärorika under mitt yrkesliv.Olle Svenning
