This fourth edition of the Progressive Yearbook has been published in a year of war and, therefore, mostly looks at the war itself, the actors involved and the implications for Europe, as well as the ways it has affected our lives.

ℹ️ https://bit.ly/FEPSYearbook23

As in previous editions, the FEPS Progressive Yearbook 2023 contains two national cases which consider the state of democracy and social democratic forces in Sweden and Greece. We also provide a global perspective on the shifting world order and the United States. Finally, this Yearbook is completed by an attempt to analyse the present and interpret tendencies in order to foresee what comes next for Europe and European progressives. This yearly edition counted on renowned authors’ contributions, including academics, politicians, and civil society representatives.
