Drawing on insights from key contributors from the EU and the UK, the book "The Politics of Polycrisis" presents new ideas for restoring social democracy, tackling topics including the green transition, the rise of platform work, industrial policy, and artificial intelligence. Rising challenges of insecurity and inequality that plagued advanced capitalist countries in recent years -- from climate change to the rise of the far right, economic crisis, and the creation of new types of jobs that do not protect workers -- have reinstated the need for social democratic parties to strategise for success. Authored by prominent researchers and policy-makers and edited by Patrick Diamond and Ania Skrzypek, this book is a powerful intellectual statement that presents new ideas for restoring social democracy.

To find a path back to power, social democrats must combine a forward-looking agenda for inclusive prosperity with protecting the pillars of security that give meaning to our lives in an era of unprecedented instability and upheaval. Launched at the 10th edition of the Oxford Symposium in December 2024, it not only reflects the Symposium's rich legacy but also provides a platform for future discussions about the viability and ambition of progressive politics. Conceived amidst ideological challenges and electoral setbacks for the centre-left, the Symposium has become a vital platform for academics, politicians, and thought leaders for a decade. Featuring cutting-edge analysis, it addresses critical issues like the rise of the radical right, polycrises, and strategies for progressive resurgence in the face of digital, environmental, and demographic transitions.
