A future Labour government will face difficult circumstances - a stagnant economy, household hardship, political volatility and a weakened state. It will need to carefully plan a programme of economic reform while fleshing out its intellectual foundations - and maintaining a broad coalition of support. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

An introduction is presented in which the editor discusses various reports published within the issue which include the different forms of liberalisation, the debate on economic reform in Great Britain, and the core foundation of the Nordic social democracy.
