Summary: | Presents a critical assessment of the "New Labor" phenomenon, assessing the impact of Labor's "modernizers" in three crucial areas: changes within the Labor Party itself, the reformation of the British state, and the influence on public policy in a range of key areas. Does not seek to provide unequivocal answers to questions raised by the arrival of New Labor and their performance in office, but to provide a debate between contributors over the nature and significance of those changes. The editor is a visiting lecturer at Southampton Institute, UK. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
