Drawing together for the first time theorists from a range of
disciplines and commitments, this interdisciplinary collection
offers a reckoning of this New Labour decade. On seeking office and
in coming to power, New Labour presented its vision for Britain in
moral terms. During the course of the New Labour administration,
further moral themes have been introduced: responsibility and
respect, the merits of local government and self-governance, and
the moral imperative to confront threats of 'terror' from abroad.
This moral agenda, with its apparently religious roots, has been
much noted, but not much discussed.The political phenomenon of New
Labour requires the disciplines of theology and ethics, as well as
social theory and politics, to be properly understood and assessed.
Drawing together for the first time theorists from a range of
disciplines and commitments, this interdisciplinary collection
offers a reckoning of this New Labour decade. As such, it has four
central research questions: What is the nature of this
remoralising? What are its sources? How effective has it been and
what difference has this moral discourse made? What can be learned
from Blairism about the relationship between faith, morals and
governance?In recent years the study of the nature and function of
religion with respect to politics has seen enormous changes. This
important series provides a range of books devoted to furthering
this study, and aimed at those studying and researching in this
area across both disciplines.Titles in this series look
specifically at the relationship between religion and political
culture. Drawing upon a broad range of religious perspectives the
series is open for studies of historical as well as current
phenomena in political culture. It seeks not only to inform but to
provoke debate at a time when religion is gaining increasing
prominence in the public realm.
