New Labour is the most innovative and powerful political movement
in Britain today. However, New Labour: A Critique argues that its
apparent pragmatism disguises an ideological commitment to
particular forms of social science, deploying new institutionalism
and communitarianism to respond to the New Right.
Bevir traces the impact of these forms of social science on the
ideas and policies of New Labour, paying particular attention to
the welfare state and the economy. New Labour, the new
institutionalism and communitarianism typically objectify aspects
of the social world to sustain claims to expert knowledge. Bevir
defends and enacts an alternative, interpretive approach to social
science. This interpretive approach inspires a critique of New
Labour as a contingent reworking of a particular socialist
tradition rather than the necessary or pragmatic response that it
portrays itself as.
