Next Left country case studies

These two online events marked the launch of the first two Next Left Country Case Studies, a new series inaugurated in 2023. These sessions served as platforms for in-depth discussions on the current status and future trajectories of the centre-left in Australia and France.

• Monday 11 December – 12 a.m.-1 p.m. – “A new labourism – down under” will be presented by Rob Manwaring
• Thursday 14 December – 1 p.m. – 2 p.m. – “Perspectives on the French Parti Socialiste’s Downfall” will be presented by Philippe Marlière

Each event featured an insightful presentation by the esteemed author, followed by an engaging discussion involving academics from the Next Left High-Level Conversations and Next Left Focus Group.

The long-term ambition was to create an informative and instructive collection, potentially culminating in a comparative volume in the future.

The editorial team comprises Andreas Schieder, MEP and Head of the SPO EP Delegation; László Andor, FEPS Secretary General; Maria Maltschnig, Director of Karl-Renner-Institut, and Ania Skrzypek, FEPS Director for Research and Training.
