‘There is a rapidly swelling literature on New Labour, so this handy compilation of key contributions is extremely welcome. It affords valuable insights into the nature of the current debate – a must for all students of the contemporary Labour party.’ – Eric Shaw, University of Stirling
‘New Labour has many roots and has had many attempted rationalizations since 1994. For the first time, the debate about what New Labour means has been brought under the same covers in a comprehensive collection of both explanations and analyses – showing not only its diversity, but also a largely unappreciated consistency in its central strategy.’ – Peter Riddell, The Times
