Abstract

The Spanish Socialist Workers' Party (PSOE) faced a challenging political environment after it left office in 2011, confronted not only by a centre-right opponent which had obtained its best-ever general election result, but, for the first time, by a rival to its left seemingly capable of relegating it to the political margins. This piece draws attention to the role played by structure and agency in underpinning the PSOE's characteristic resilience, enabling it to display the flexibility required to re-establish its credentials as a formidable party of government capable of implementing a clearly progressive social democratic programme.
