In Western Europe''s Democratic Age, Martin Conway provides an innovative new account of how a stable, durable, and remarkably uniform model of parliamentary democracy emerged in Western Europe—and how this democratic ascendancy held fast until the latter decades of the twentieth century.Drawing on a wide range of sources, Conway describes how Western Europe''s postwar democratic was built by elite, intellectual, and popular forces. Much more than the consequence of the defeat of fascism and the rejection of Communism, this democratic rested on universal male and female suffrage, but also on new forms of state authority and new political forces—primarily Christian and social democratic—that espo democratic values. Above all, it gained the support of the people, for whom democracy provided a new model of ship that reflected the aspirations of a more prosperous society.This democratic did not, however, endure. Its hierarchies of class, gender, and race, which initially gave it its strength, as well as the strains of decolonization and social change, led to an explosion of demands for greater democratic freedoms in the 1960s, and to the much more contested democratic politics of Europe in the late twentieth century.Western Europe''s Democratic Age is a compelling history that sheds new light not only on the past of European democracy but also on the unresolved question of its future.
