The last few decades has seen a prolonged debate over the nature and importance of social class as a basis for ideology, class voting and class politics. The prevailing assumption is that, in western societies, class inequalities are no longer important in determining political behaviour. In The End of Class Politics? leading scholars from the US, UK and Europe argue that the evidence on which the assumptions about the decline importance of class is based is unfounded. Instead, the book argues that the class basis of political competition has to some degree evolved, but not declined. Furthermore, the social basis of political competition and sweeping claims about the new politics of postindustrial society need to be re-examined.

English. See images for condition. About the book >.>.> This book began as a panel on class and politics at the thirteenth World Congress of Sociology at Bielefeld in Germany in July 1994. At that meeting John Goldthorpe, Michael Hout, Paul Nieuwbeerta, and David Weakliem presented early versions of the papers that eventually became the chapters published here. The idea of a book certainly existed then, but its eventual fruition required further clarification and extension of both content and personnel. This was facilitated by the gathering together of many of the book's final contributors for a conference on "The End of Class Politics?" at Nuffield College in February 1995 with funds generously pro-vided by the Ford Foundation. Here the initial contributing authors were joined by new input from Kristen Ringdal and Stefan Svallfors, as well as further analyses from the initial group now joined by Anthony Heath. A special feature of this conference was the taped round-table session led by commentaries from John Goldtho. Seller Inventory # Batch-FM643-VG-13289
