商品描述

This book takes an in-depth look at the debates surrounding democracy and social democracy. Questioning the effectiveness of elections and referenda in expressing the 'voice of the people', it explores how voters' decisions are influenced by ideology and politicians' past performance. It examines how political parties converge towards the median voter's position, and the strategies they use to win elections and justify their past performance. Furthermore, it explores the relationship between socialism and liberalism within European social democracy, highlighting the compatibility of egalitarian policies with economic competitiveness.

Written by José María Maravall, the former Spanish Minister of Education and Science (1982-1988), the book's analysis is enriched by the author's personal background. With a history of anti-Francoist activism, membership of underground organisations, and roles within the Spanish Socialist Party, the author's experiences offer unique insights into political strategy and governance. Drawing additionally on extensive data and empirical evidence, the book provides a thorough analysis of democracy, accountability, and the survival of governments, making it essential reading for anyone interested in democracy and social democracy.

商品描述(中文翻譯)

這本書深入探討了圍繞民主與社會民主的辯論。質疑選舉和公投在表達「人民之聲」方面的有效性，並探討選民的決策如何受到意識形態和政治人物過去表現的影響。它檢視了政黨如何向中位選民的立場靠攏，以及他們用來贏得選舉和為過去表現辯護的策略。此外，它還探討了社會主義與自由主義在歐洲社會民主中的關係，強調平等政策與經濟競爭力之間的相容性。

本書由前西班牙教育與科學部長何塞·瑪麗亞·馬拉瓦爾（José María Maravall）撰寫，作者的個人背景為本書的分析增添了深度。作者擁有反法西斯主義活動的歷史，曾參與地下組織，並在西班牙社會主義黨內擔任職務，這些經歷為政治策略和治理提供了獨特的見解。本書還依據大量數據和實證證據，對民主、問責制和政府的存續進行了徹底的分析，對任何對民主和社會民主感興趣的人來說，都是必讀之作。
