Ten Years of New Labour

Drawing upon the expertise of a team of established researchers, Ten Years of New Labour provides a detailed and comprehensive evaluation of the ideas, institutions and policies that shaped the Blair Governments´ decade in office. The reader is provided with a critical analysis of the key domestic policy choices, including New Labour´s agenda and legacy for economic and social policy, constitutional reform, including the impact upon Westminster and the Office of the Prime Minister, and the Labour Party´s relationship with the trades union. The impact of the Blair Governments´ policy choices overseas are explored through evaluations of defence policy, Tony Blair´s ´liberal interventionism´ in international politics, and New Labour´s relationship with the European Union.
