In this important new book, Stephen Driver and Luke Martell examinehow the Blair government is re-shaping Britain, Britain s place inEurope and British social democracy. This timely study of Labour sfirst term in power for two decades challenges the view that NewLabour has thrown in the towel to Thatcherite neo-liberalism.Driver and Martell argue that Tony Blair s government has in facttaken politics and policy-making beyond Thatcherism. But they alsocast doubt on some of the social democratic claims of Labourmodernizers. While Labour s stunning election victories in 1997 and2001 have given the Blair government an unprecedented opportunityto shape the political and policy landscape in Labour s image,Blair s Britain continues to bear the imprint of eighteen years ofradical Conservative government.

Blair s Britain explores the central policy dilemmas faced by theLabour Party in government in its second term and beyond: thebalance between social justice and economic efficiency; stronggovernment and pluralist politics; and work and home life. Theauthors explore how social democrats and progressive politiciansacross Europe in Germany, France, the Netherlands, Scandinavia andthe Mediterranean, as well as the United States, have responded tothe challenges of globalization and social change - and examine thecomparative politics of social democracy across Europe and the restof the world today.

This book is the most comprehensive survey of New Labour yet toappear, and will be read by students of politics and sociology aswell as being accessible to the general reader.
