In this volume, leading thinkers and experts provide compelling answers to issues of economic governance, financial regulation, budget reform, social policy and sustainable growth. 

Social democratic thinking has to come to terms with the dramatic economic and social transformations sweeping the world. The importance of the state has been reaffirmed, but the future cannot lie solely in a return to statism and a revival of Keynesian social democracy.
 

This edition of Progressive Politics has been produced to coincide with the regional Progressive Governance Conference hosted by President Thabo Mbeki in Johannesburg. The conference falls at an opportune moment, several months after the publication of the Africa Commission’s report, and a few short weeks after the G8 Summit in Gleneagles.

The new issue of Policy Network’s journal, Progressive Politics focuses on the future of transatlantic relations. This volume includes six original articles by politicians and thinkers such as Giuliano Amato, Ron Asmus, Laurent Fabius, Ulrike Guérot, Peter Mandelson and Karsten D. Voigt. Together they stress the importance of, and the need for, finding new ways ahead for a revitalised transatlantic partnership.
