The authors, José Félix Tezanos and César Luena, maintain that, just as in the past there was an evolution from the cadre party to the mass party, today it is essential to move towards a new model of a democratic, participatory party. The book examines the renewal of social democracy, the consolidation of social and economic citizenship, and advocates for greater citizen involvement in political decision-making, based on the premise that today's citizenry no longer accepts policies imposed without their consent.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is it about?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe work addresses the challenge posed by the crisis of political representation and the disconnect between traditional parties and the citizenry. The authors propose that parties must overcome their obsolete structures to adapt to a more demanding and participatory society. It analyzes the transformations necessary to move from a hierarchical and centralized model to a more open, transparent, and horizontal one, where the voices of members and supporters have real weight. Likewise, it delves into the need to renew the social democratic ideology to respond to the challenges of the 21st century, such as inequality, globalization, and the ecological crisis, and defends the expansion of social and economic rights as the basis of full citizenship.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eMain themes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\n  \u003cli\u003eTransformation of political parties towards democratic and participatory models.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n  \u003cli\u003eRenewal of social democracy in the face of 21st-century challenges.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n  \u003cli\u003eConsolidation of social and economic citizenship as a democratic pillar.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n  \u003cli\u003eCitizen participation in political decision-making.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n  \u003cli\u003eCrisis of representation and new forms of political organization.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWho is it recommended for?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis book is aimed at students and professionals in political science, sociology, and constitutional law, as well as political leaders, public officials, and individuals interested in the renewal of democracy and the internal functioning of parties.
