Download or read book New Labour's Pasts written by James E. Cronin and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-09-17 with total page 469 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Where other books are either highly partisan dismissals or appreciations of the Third Way, or dull sociological accounts, this book gets behind the clichés in order to show just what is left of Labour party ideology and what the future may hold. New Labour has changed the face of Britain. Culture, class, education, health, the arts, leisure, the economy have all seen seismic shifts since the 1997 election that raised Blair to power. The Labour that rules has distanced itself from the failed Labour of the 70s and 80s, but the core remains. Labour remains gripped by its own past - unable and unwilling to shed its ties to the old Labour party, but determined to avoid the mistakes of which lead to four electoral defeats between 1979 and 1992. Cronin covers the full history of the party from its post war triumph through decades of shambolic leadership against ruthless and organised opposition to the resurgent New Labour of the 90s that finally took Britain into the new millennium.

Book Synopsis The Modern British Party System by : Paul Webb
Download or read book The Modern British Party System written by Paul Webb and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2021-09-28 with total page 405 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The new edition of this successful book provides a comprehensive and up-to-date overview and account of the changing nature of party politics in Britain today. Webb and Bale draw on models of comparative politics in conducting a wealth of new empirical analysis to map and explain the ways in which the party system has evolved, and the parties have adapted to a changing political environment. Themes covered include the nature and extent of party competition, the internal life and organizational development of parties, the varieties of party system found across the UK, and the roles played by parties within the wider political system. The book also addresses the crisis of popular legitimacy confronting the parties, as well as assessing the scope for potential reform. While parties remain central to the functioning of Britain's democracy, public disaffection with them is as high as it has ever been; reform of the system of representation and party funding is warranted, but there are unlikely to be any panaceas.

Book Synopsis The British Labour Party and the „Third Way‟ by : Philipp Kramp
Download or read book The British Labour Party and the „Third Way‟ written by Philipp Kramp and published by GRIN Verlag. This book was released on 2010-11 with total page 53 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bachelor Thesis from the year 2010 in the subject Politics - Political Systems - General and Comparisons, grade: 1,5, University of Potsdam (Institut für Politikwissenschaft), language: English, abstract: Die Arbeit wurde in englischer Sprache abgefasst. In der vorliegenden Arbeit soll der Einfluss des 'Dritten Weges' auf die englische Labour Party geklärt werden. Zu Beginn der Arbeit untersuche ich, ob der 'Dritte Weg' als Ideologie zu bezeichnen ist. In diesem Kontext kläre ich die wichtigsten Punkte des Politikansatzes anhand eines Rasters von Andrew Heywood in Abgrenzung zum tradierten sozialdemokratischen Ansatz. Dies geschieht um nachzuvollziehen, dass es sich beim 'Dritten Weg' um einen durchdachten Politikansatz handelt und nicht um lose Fragmente politischer Ideen. Darüber hinaus können hierdurch die größten Unterschiede zur alten Sozialdemokratie besser betrachtet werden. Nachfolgend bestimme ich die Einflussfaktoren, die die Labour Party dazu motiviert haben, die Modernisierung ihres Politikkonzeptes voranzubringen. Dabei werden Faktoren innerhalb und außerhalb der Partei betrachtet. Wir müssen bedenken, dass es sich beim 'Dritten Weg' um einen Zwitter handelt. Auf der einen Seite ist es ein umfassender Politikansatz, gleichzeitig aber auch eine Strategie zur Maximierung des Wahlerfolges. Ich vergleiche diese Strategie mit dem Konzept des Parteienwettbewerbes von Anthony Downs. Zum Ende der Arbeit kläre ich den Einfluss des Konzeptes auf die Partei und die Frage zur Implementierung des Politikansatzes. Innerhalb der Arbeit wird eine Frage aufgeworfen, die nicht beantwortet werden kann. Wenn wir die Zielstellung zur Maximierung des Wahlerfolges betrachten, dann ist die Frage, ob die Modernisierung der Partei für diesen Wahlerfolg erforderlich war, von besonderer Bedeutung. Im Fazit fasse ich die Ergebnisse der vorangegangenen Kapitel zusammen.

Book Synopsis The British Labour Party in Opposition and Power 1979-2019 by : Patrick Diamond
Download or read book The British Labour Party in Opposition and Power 1979-2019 written by Patrick Diamond and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-10 with total page 422 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This book offers a novel account of the Labour party's years in opposition and power since 1979, in particular examining how New Labour fought to reinvent post-war social democracy, reshaping its core political ideas. It charts Labour's sporadic recovery from political disaster in the 1980s, successfully making the arduous journey from opposition to power with the rise (and ultimately fall) of the governments of Tony Blair and Gordon Brown. Forty years on from the 1979 disaster, however, Labour finds itself on the edge of oblivion once again. Defeated in 2010, it entered a further cycle of degeneration and decline. Like social democratic parties across Europe, it failed to identify a fresh ideological rationale in the aftermath of the great financial crisis. Drawing on a wealth of sources including interviews and unpublished papers, the book focuses on decisive points of transformational change in the party's development and raises a perennial concern of present-day debate, namely whether Labour is a party capable of transforming the ideological weather, shaping a new paradigm in British politics, or whether it is a party that should be content to govern with parameters set by its Conservative opponents. This text will be of key interest to scholars and students of British Politics, political parties, British political party history, Labour Party history and contemporary history"--

Book Synopsis Party Ideology and Popular Politics at the Accession of George III by : John Brewer
Download or read book Party Ideology and Popular Politics at the Accession of George III written by John Brewer and published by CUP Archive. This book was released on 1981-12-10 with total page 396 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is a reappraisal of English politics in the first decade of George III's reign. It sets out to explain how party politics changed, and what problems that created for the parliamentary elite. The issues of party, of patriotism as it manifested itself in the elder Pitt's political career, and of the relations between the notions of ministerial responsibility and the powers of the Crown are all used to illuminate the nature of political conflict. Special emphasis is placed on Burke's notions of party. The schisms created by this reconfiguration of party politics, Dr Brewer argues, had effects beyond Westminster. He discusses extra-parliamentary forms of political expression, notably the press, and goes on to show how the career of John Wilkes and the critique of British politics developed by American radicals gave focus to a variety of political discontents, and produced new arguments in favour of parliamentary reform. Throughout his study he emphasises the interplay between popular and parliamentary politics. His work is designed to show that the 'political nation' included many other than the parliamentary classes, and that the political conflicts of the period cannot be properly understood without a full examination of political ideology.
