Using a variety of primary and secondary sources, the book maps
out and explains New Labour's political trajectory, the policy
agenda it has pursued and the process by which it governs. It uses
excerpts from the best and most interesting material, including the
writings and speeches of the Labour government's most influential
figures. There are chapters on the New Labour debate, economic
policy, the public services, constitutional reform, European policy
and Labour's Whitehall style, as well as a critical introduction by
the editors.
This Reader will provide an initial point of access to the
varied literature on this subject and prove an essential reference
for understanding the wide-ranging implications of the New Labour
'project'. Since British politics is a core option on all
undergraduate politics courses, it will be a vital resource for all
who study the subject.
