This book analyses social democratic parties’ attempts to tackle
inequality in increasingly challenging times. It provides a
distinctive contribution to the literature on the so-called
‘crisis’ of social democracy by exploring the role of equality
policy in this crisis. While the main focus is on analysing Australian
Labor governments, examples are also given from a wide range of
parties internationally. The book traces how a traditional focus on
class has expanded to include other forms of inequality, including
issues of gender, race, ethnicity and sexuality and explores both the
intersections and potential tensions that result. Meanwhile there are
new challenges for equality policy arising from a changing
geo-economics (the rise of Asia), the legacies of neoliberalism and
the impact of technological disruption.
