The end of the cold war in the last decade of the 20 century did not yield the expected peace dividends and was marked by bitter conflicts based on religion and ethnicity which have become pronounced and terrifying. At the same time commercial and consumerist factors are in the ascendant and accelerating the process of globalisation. This in its turn is undermining democracy. The very assumptions of the democratic state are being challenged. In this context a look back at the socialist international provides insights for understanding the confused march of the post cold war world because social democracy has been and is very much a part of the contemporary political processes. It was towards the end of the Second World War that certain individuals and parties with social democratic orientation came together and began testing the values of equality justice freedom and solidarity on the grounds of practical politics. Their efforts led to the formation of the Socialist International (SI). And their task continues. The SI has now acquired global dimensions. As the biggest international political organisation it formulated policies about and responded to the challenges of colonialism disarmament the north south divide sustainable development environment globalisation and terrorism. It has also dealt creatively with the problems of democracy and economic development. The SI believes that a simultaneous tackling of these challenges will lead to humane global governance. The book unfolds the sage of the bold intellectual and political initiatives of the SI in its quest for social democratic solutions to the diverse and acute problems confronting the contemporary world. 436 pp.
