Why are some intellectual milieus more prone to universalism than others?
Ultimately, it is about power and who can afford to ignore whom. While the
international status and recognition of a specific intellectual community—
linguistic, urban, national, or regional—are obvious factors, they do not fully
account for why the step from local experience to universal claim is shorter
for some and longer for others. By combining an actor-oriented discussion
of the processes through which intellectuals claim universal validity and
applicability for concepts with a discussion of center-periphery tensions in
transnational exchange, this article explores the logic of conceptual universalization
from the perspective of the European margins.

"With a combined focus on social democrats in Northern and Southern Europe, this book crucially broadens our understanding of the transformation of European social democracy from the mid-1970s to the early-1990s. In doing so, it revisits the transformation of this ideological family at the end of the Cold War, and before the launch of Third Way politics, and examines the dynamics and power relations at play among European social democratic parties in a context of nascent globalization. The chronological, methodological and geographical approaches adopted allow for a more nuanced narrative of change for European social democracy than the hitherto dominant centric perspective. This book will be of key interest to scholars and students of social democracy, the European Centre-left, political parties, ideologies, and more broadly to comparative politics and European politics and history"--
