Labour’s ‘Ming Vase Strategy’: The operational code of the Starmer leadership
The aim of this article is to provide an overview of the Labour Party’s programmatic trajectory under Keir Starmer, a trajectory which helped set the parameters for the often-contentious policy choices in government. Though Starmer had fought the election to succeed Corbyn on a left-wing platform, this was soon abandoned. Policy evolution was mainly driven by strategic considerations, more specifically, by what came to be called ‘the Ming vase st…
The Psychology of Insider Risk: Detection, Investigation and Case Management
Clinical psychologist and former intelligence officer Eric D. Shaw brings over 30 years of psychological consultation experience to the national security community, corporate investigations and law enforcement to this work on insider risk.

The Battle of Ideas in the Labour Party: From Attlee to Corbyn and Brexit
This Really has the Potential to Destroy us’: Jeremy Corbyn's Management of the Problem of Anti‐semitism in the Labour Party 1
During Jeremy Corbyn's period as leader, Labour was convulsed by a row over claims of widespread anti‐semitism in the party, with Corbyn under sustained attack for his alleged complacency—and even connivance. The main purpose of this article is to help explain how the Corbyn leadership managed the ‘anti‐semitism crisis’. The first section reviews the sequence of events, the key aspects of the crisis and the various steps taken by the Corbyn leade…
Urban primate ranging patterns: GPS‐collar deployments for Macaca fascicularis and M. sylvanus
The global increase in urbanization is leading to heavier interface between humans and wildlife. Within these anthropogenic landscapes, little is known about ranging patterns, particularly with regard to urban primates. Here we present the results of the first long-term deployment of multiple GPS collars on two species of macaques to investigate the impacts of urbanization on urban primate ranging patterns in Singapore and Gibraltar. Collars data…
Understanding Labour Party Management under Tony Blair
This article outlines and discusses the main features of Lewis Minkin’s book, The Blair Supremacy, subtitled ‘A Case Study of Labour’s party management’. These include Minkin’s exposition of New Labour’s managerial doctrine, the methods used to put it into effect and the resources deployed to support it. It assesses some of the problems New Labour’s party management encountered and the compromises it made. It both locates Minkin’s analysis of the…

From the Mouths of Monkeys: Detection of M ycobacterium t uberculosis Complex DNA From Buccal Swabs of Synanthropic Macaques
Although the M ycobacterium tuberculosis complex ( MTBC ) infects a third of all humans, little is known regarding the prevalence of mycobacterial infection in nonhuman primates ( NHP ). For more than a century, tuberculosis has been regarded as a serious infectious threat to NHP species. Advances in the detection of MTBC open new possibilities for investigating the effects of this poorly understood pathogen in diverse populations of NHP . Here, …

Understanding New Labour: A symposium on Eric Shaw's Losing Labour's Soul
Le New Labour à la recherche de « la meilleure relation possible entre les individus, l'État et le marché »
New Labour rejected both the ‘big state’ associated with the ‘old left’ and the ‘minimal state’ identified with the ‘new right’. Instead it favoured the ‘enabling state’ whose object was not to instruct but to empower ordinary people. For Tony Blair a ‘prime illustration’ of the meaning and implications of this model of the state could be found in the stance it took on ‘the issue of healthy living.’ This article accordingly seeks to analyze both …

British Devolution and the Labour Party: How a National Party Adapts to Devolution
In 1999 the Labour government in the UK devolved significant powers to the newly created Scottish Parliament and the National Assembly for Wales. This article concludes that the British Labour Party, as a national party, has not formally reorganised itself to reflect the new realities of devolution. Rather, the national ruling elite has continued to stress the importance of maintaining the valuable Labour brand to ensure the electability of the p…

The New Sub-National Politics of the British Labour Party
The response of national, state-level political parties to the challenges of competing for power at the devolved, regional levels is a neglected research topic. This article seeks to remedy this by analysing how the British Labour Party has responded to these challenges at the sub-national level following UK devolution. British Labour remains formally a unitary party despite devolution. Nonetheless, the national party leadership has allowed the S…
T H Green and the Development of Ethical SocialismNew Labour's Old Root: Revisionist Thinkers in Labour's History 1931–1997sFightback! Labour's Traditional Right in the 1970s and 1980s
All these three books, in their various ways, seek to cast light on the origins and character of New Labour. The two theoretical books—by Carter and Diamond—differ considerable in shape and purpose. Carter's has its origins in his doctoral dissertation and much of it is devoted to exploring the role played by T. H. Green's idealism in shaping the philosophical basis of New Liberalism and ethical socialism. Diamond's book is an edited compilation …

The Blair Government and the Non-Problem of Globalisation
According to many commentators, the end of the social democratic era is at hand. Changes in the social structure, the fading of collectivist ideas and institutions and internal contradictions within the social democratic project are among the many factors cited in its demise. The single most important, however, has probably been the emergence of a globalised world economy. The ‘strong globalisation’ thesis holds that the ‘social democratic era’, …
Saddam Hussein: Political Psychological Profiling Results Relevant to His Possession, Use, and Possible Transfer of Weapons of Mass Destruction (WMD) to Terrorist Groups
This article applies psychological profiling data from the speeches and interviews of Saddam Hussein during the 1990 Gulf Crisis to many of the recent questions about Iraqi weapons of mass destruction (WMD) policies and intentions that were pivotal to the decision to wage war in Iraq. Content analysis of Hussein's verbal comments prior to the invasion of Kuwait and after the introduction of coalition forces into Saudi Arabia were used to assess h…
Privatization by stealth? The Blair government and public-private partnerships in the National Health Service
This article reviews the Blair government's "partnership strategy' in the NHS, that is the policy of expanding the role of the private sector in the organization and delivery of public services. This has become, within the Labour Party and trade unions, the single most controversial policy issue in Labour's second term. The two key policy initiatives are the Private Finance Initiative and the "Concordat'. The government claims their introduction …

The indicators identified are grouped within four conceptual categories: (1) External factors, including historical, cultural, and conte…

Towards renewal? The British labour party's policy review
This contribution explores the process of programmatic renewal in the British Labour Party from 1987 to 1991, the so‐called Policy Review. It considers the mechanics of the review, the key programmatic changes that occurred and the main factors shaping the process. It concludes that a substantial overhaul of policy took place, but queries whether this constituted 'programmatic renewal'. It briefly considers Labour's future programmatic orientatio…

The vulnerability of the critical infrastructure has led to increasing concern that it will be the target of terrorist attacks.

As computer sophisticated youth move into the ranks of conventional terrorist groups, the groups will increase their …

Von „Old Labour“ zu „New Labour”: Die Transformation der britischen Sozialdemokratie
In seiner Ausgabe vom 28. September 1994 schrieb der Guardian: "Labour is in the throes of an historic change of philosophy". Die Ursprünge dieses Wandels gehen zurück auf die Wahl von Neil Kinnock als Parteivorsitzenden im Jahre 1983 in Folge des Debakels bei der Unterhauswahl im gleichen Jahr, bei welcher der Stimmenanteil von Labour auf unter 28 Prozent sank. Es nahm einige Zeit in Anspruch, bis Kinnock zu dem Schluß kam, daß aus wahltaktische…
