With the war in Ukraine, the cost-of-living crisis, the lingering pandemic and the onrushing threat of climate change, a bewildering array of transnational political challenges present themselves. Can social democrats articulate convincing solutions to these challenges, behind which progressives can rally, in Europe and globally? This volume, of interviews and chapters contributed by political thinkers and practitioners, presents a rich repertoire of ideas and proposals which offer some reasons to hope for better times ahead.
