The Return of Labour - A Turning Point in British Politics?

Edited by Hans Kastendiek, Richard Stinshoff and Roland Sturm.

Eleven essays focus on the significance of the Labour Party's return to government in 1997, and analyze this event from the perspective of social and political change in Britain in the 1980/90s. They address the questions involved on three levels: a) political discourses and orientations in the electorate; b) the party system and the major parties; c) key political issues: welfare, industrial relations, education, devolution, electoral reform, and Europe. The volume is structured by the topics: "Changing Political Discourses and Electoral Orientations", "Political Parties and the Party System: Structural Changes" and "New Labour's Agenda: Key Political Issues and Policy Approaches". 255 Seiten mit 13 Abb. und 32 Tab., broschiert (Arbeitskreis Deutsche England-Forschung; Veröffentlichung 42/Philo Verlagsgesellschaft 1999) leichte Lagerspuren
