This book provides a critical overview of the changing Labour Party
in postwar Britain. Adopting a thematic approach within a
structured, chronological framework, the book revolves around one
central question: what has the Party been about and what specific
objectives has it striven to realize? The author examines the
so-called transformation from "Old Labour" to "New Labour", and not
only identifies the key stages in its evolution, but highlights,
too, the major determinants of the change.The author focuses on the
key areas of debate which illustrate Labour's unfolding aims and
its responses to a range of pressures and constraints, namely
economic policy, industrial policy, industrial relations and
employment policy, and the nature of the welfare state. It is
through discussion of these issues that the author investigates the
most significant influences behind Labour's organizational
structure, rules and policy-making procedures; its distribution of
power; its ethos and conventions; its electoral performance, and
the evolving social, economic and political environment of postwar
Britain.Setting the dynamics of the Party within the context of
dominant theories of party political change, the book also provides
a significant contribution to debates on the nature of postwar
British politics, useful for all students of contemporary history
and political science.
