DESCRIPTION:The recent disenchantment of voters with existing political in
 stitutions is often depicted as resulting from a retrenching welfare state
  and growing economic inequalities. If this explanation is correct then it
  is striking that the policies enacted by so-called “populist” governm
 ents can hardly be described as social democratic. In fact\, around the wo
 rld social democratic parties are in a deep crisis. In the panel\, we will
  discuss these topics and ask how those who are sympathetic to a strong we
 lfare state should respond.
