What Did They Wish For? Party Government, Polarization and the American Political Science Association
In tracing the development of increased polarization in the United States, numerous scholars have noted the apparent importance of the American Political Science Association's (APSA's) Committee on Political Parties. The committee's influential (and often criticized) report, Toward a More Responsible Two-Party System , called for a wholesale transformation of political parties in the United States. On its publication in October 1950, political sc…

The debate about wages: The New Left, the Labour Party and incomes policy
The article appraises an economic initiative developed by members of the New Left in the UK in the form of A Socialist Wages Plan written by Ken Alexander and John Hughes. Their proposal was significant, coming at a time when some commentators argued the Labour Party was seeking to mimic aspects of the Swedish social democratic model and because of the measures adopted by the 1964-1970 Labour government. The hostility from scholars and political …

New Labour, Gender Mainstreaming and the Women and Equality Unit
New Labour's approach to gender mainstreaming is perhaps best exemplified through the work of the Women and Equality Unit (WEU). In this article we chart the development of the Unit and varied initiatives in which it has been involved and provide a preliminary assessment of the Unit's work. We start with a discussion of Labour's approach to mainstreaming. This provides a context for a profile of the work of the Women's Unit (WU) between 1997 and …
From Reformism to Resignation and Remedialism? Labour's Trajectory Through British Politics
On 9 April 1992, the British Labour party lost its fourth successive general election. The outcome, coming after prolonged economic difficulties, led many commentators to call into question altogether the viability of the reformist project in the United Kingdom. For Labour's leaders, the result was bitterly disappointing. To lose any general election is, of course, evidence of failure. But, given the extent of the radical transformation the party…

New Labour in the Global Economy: Partisan Politics and the Social Democratic Model
Drawing on a framework developed by Geoffrey Garrett in his recent book Partisan Politics in the Global Economy, I examine the ‘policy space’ that is available for the social democratic project in the United Kingdom. Garrett is optimistic about the possibilities for reformism: he emphasises the ability of an ‘encompassing’ labour movement to exchange wage restraint for reformist policies. Given the absence of such an encompassing labour movement …
Training Without the State? New Labour and labour markets
English In 1996 the British Labour Party abandoned its commitment to a state-led training policy funded through a levy on business. It adopted a new scheme based on individual plans with minimal public intervention and no levy. Drawing on archival sources, this article examines the development of Labour’s policy towards training over the last 15 years. The authors argue that the new proposals mark the failure of the Party’s attempt to locate itse…
Social Democracy and Structural Dependency: The British Case. A Note on Hay
Recasting Social Democracy: A Comment on Hay and Smith
Since 1983 Labour has undergone a far-reaching metamorphosis. In a recent debate in Political Studies. Colin Hay and Martin Smith provide important insights into that transformation.1 However, the dichotomy within which they locate developments is a limited and potentially misleading one. Hay argues that Labour has uncritically accepted a new Thatcherite political settlement while Smith claims the changes represent a modernization of the party. I…
