After New Labour : Social Theory and

What's left after New Labour? This timely book outlines the themes of a post-New Labour project, assessing the legacy of both the Third Way and its critics. The book offers an original analysis of the relationship between social theory and political strategy. It shows how progressives might reconnect with the traditional concerns of the left, while preserving what was important in the Third Way. Collapsing the boundaries between sociology and political science, this is essential reading for anyone interested in centre-left renewal. Book jacket.

Will Leggett is Lecturer in Sociology at the University of Birmingham.
