{"product_id":"swedish-social-democracy-and-the-vietnam-war","title":"Swedish Social Democracy and the Vietnam War","description":"West European leaders had good reasons to oppose US Vietnam war policy. It threatened to alter the global balance of power while igniting unrest at home. Such turbulence led to a radicalized political atmosphere domestically. In this new environment, the “New Left” established a powerful foothold among the “68-generation”. In many West European countries the new radical left rejected the older Socialist and Communist parties in favor of more radical political alternatives.\n\nIn Sweden the Social Democratic government struggled to maintain a workable relationship with Washington while at the same time placating domestic anti-war opinion – thus preventing this issue from being hijacked by the far left. How did the Swedish Social Democrats resolve this dilemma?\n\nAlthough this is the most written-about episode in Swedish postwar diplomacy, this is the first book to scrutinize the impact of Sweden's Vietnam War policy on its domestic politics.","brand":"Södertörns högskola","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":32443710636132,"sku":"9789187843358","price":27.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/suomalainen-test.myshopify.com\/products\/swedish-social-democracy-and-the-vietnam-war","provider":"Suomalainen Test","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
