A study of power in British political parties. It asks what happened to consensus politics and looks at the ideology and sociology of Labour's strategy. It also questions the need for a centre party and discusses political figures such as Churchill, Enoch Powell and Tony Benn.

The most authoritative study of a landmark British General Election - the fifteenth book in the renowned Nuffield series of election studies. This highly readable account covers all the salient features - the background, the campaign, the results and the consequences of Labour's victory. Based on close observation of party headquarters, it explores each party's strategic decisions and their implementation, showing how 1997 saw campaigning techniques at an altogether new level of sophistication. The battle in the media and the constituencies is analysed in detail. There is a mass of data and thorough statistical analysis of the campaign and results. Plates and cartoons entertainingly illustrate the campaign trail and recapture the drama of the election.

Written in a clear accessible style, Dennis Kavanagh has produced this lucid analysis of the British political system, designed for anyone taking a first course in the subject.

This volume brings together for the first time the British Labour Political Party General Election Manifestos, dating back to 1900, and including the most recent General Election manifesto of 1997. The project provides an indispensible source of data about the Labour Party's political ideologies and policy positions, as well as charting their changes over time. The volume has a new introduction written by Dennis Kavanagh, who is Professor of Politics at Liverpool University, and who has already published Political Science and Political Behaviour with Routledge. In addition to the new introduction, the volume includes a comprehensive index, making the volume easy to use.

Dennis Kavanagh brings together a cast of contributors to consider the legacy of Philip Gould, a key figure in the creation of New Labour.
