Making Sense of New Labour

Meer over het boek

"This book tries to make sense of New Labour by interpreting its ideas and practices as symptoms of the times in which we live. It is an in-depth study, interpreting a wide range of material, including party political broadcasts and other election material, Tony Blair's speeches, and internal policy discussion. Finlayson disentangles and analyses the different elements of New Labour's political philosophy, which he argues is in large part a reflection of the culture and politics of contemporary capitalism. As such the party inevitably finds itself managing a status quo rather than driving genuine change."--BOOK JACKET
