Abstract
This edited collection explores the “three worlds” of social democracy, in Western Europe, the former Communist nations, and the postcolonial global South. The title clearly refers to Gøsta Esping-Andersen's (1990) well-known book describing liberal, corporatist, and social democratic welfare state regimes in advanced capitalist nations. While not without merit, this book is theoretically and conceptually less ambitious than Esping-Andersen's path-breaking work. Rather than clearly differentiating three ideal-types of social democratic regimes, as Esping-Andersen did, the overall argument is that across different political regions of the world, social democratic parties have failed, even when forming majority governments. This pessimistic, albeit convincing, assessment of the decline of social democratic politics is rooted in eleven national case studies. These are stand-alone chapters, so that the reader must infer comparisons across national cases, helped by the introductory and concluding chapters by the editor. Overall, the book offers a useful array of descriptions of the decline of social democratic political governments and parties across what world system's theorists (Wallerstein 1974) might refer to as the core, periphery, and semiperiphery.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
