The Brown Government provides an interim evaluation of Gordon
Brown's Labour administration through identifying continuities and
discontinuities with the Blair governments from 1997. By focusing
on key ideas and areas of public policy it presents an analysis of
the first 18 months of Brown's government. This book is notable for
its topicality particularly for the discussions of the credit
crunch, the British banking crises and the interconnectedness of
these events with the global economic downturn. A study of Brown's
handling of these crises in the economy is important as it is
arguable that the present recession and credit crunch will reach
unprecedented proportions and therefore define the character and
content of British politics in the coming years. By conducting an
examination of the Brown Government's public policy priorities one
can begin to decipher its aims and values and, by so doing, begin
to understand the next phase of the New Labour project. In this
sense the book is a contribution to the ongoing study of
contemporary British social democracy. This book was published as a
special issue of Policy Studies.
