Rezensionen

'There is a rapidly swelling literature on New Labour, sothis handy compilation of key contributions is extremely welcome.It affords valuable insights into the nature of the current debate- a must for all students of the contemporary Labourparty.' - Eric Shaw, University ofStirling

'New Labour has many roots and has had many attemptedrationalizations since 1994. For the first time, the debate aboutwhat New Labour means has been brought under the same covers in acomprehensive collection of both explanations and analyses -showing not only its diversity, but also a largely unappreciatedconsistency in its central strategy.' - Peter Riddell, The Times
