The Crosland Legacy by Patrick Diamond Pdf

In Crosland's Legacy, noted political writer Patrick Diamond explores the contemporary impact of Anthony Crosland's writings on the British Labour Party, in particular through his work The Future of Socialism, published nearly sixty years ago. Despite widespread questioning of many of Crosland's assumptions alongside obvious and important changes in British society and the economy since The Future of Socialism was published, Diamond argues that Crosland continues to serve as a key intellectual reference point for today's Labour Party. In making the claim that "socialism is about equality," Crosland set the context for debates that bridge Gaitskell's Labour Party in the 1950s and the development into New Labour headed by Blair, Brown, and Miliband. This book will examine Crosland's intellectual legacy as manifested in the debates of today's Labour Party.

Crosland and New Labour by Dick Leonard Pdf

How much does Tony Blair owe to Anthony Crosland? The author of The Future of Socialism , who died suddenly as Foreign Secretary in 1977, remains the major philosophical inspiration and reference point for the left. To what extent is New Labour fashioned in Crosland's image? What can the Blair government learn from his writings and ministerial achievements? An all-star cast of sixteen authors examine Crosland's legacy in political theory and political practice and point to numerous ways in which his message remains relevant to policy-makers today. The contributors include Gordon Brown, Roy Hattersley, Michael Young, Raymond Plant, David Lipsey, Brian Brivati and Tony Wright. Susan Crosland contributes a moving postscript.

The Crosland Legacy by Diamond, Patrick Pdf

Anthony Crosland bequeathed a significant intellectual legacy to the Labour Party including his celebrated treatise The Future of Socialism published sixty years ago. In this timely book, Patrick Diamond argues that Crosland continues to serve as a vital reference point for today’s Labour Party. He considers a wide range of Crosland’s writings on the economy and politics, relating his ideas to ideological debates taking place within the Labour Party about egalitarian social democracy, electoral strategy, the European question, and the importance of progressive liberalism on the British centre-left. This is the first substantial work to fully consider Crosland’s legacy for British social democracy. Written in a clear and persuasive way, it will appeal to a broad audience of?thinkers and activists with an interest in the history of?the?Labour Party and the British Left.

The Future of Socialism by Anthony Crosland Pdf

The 50th anniversary edition of the book that changed English Politics. With an Introduction by Gordon Brown. It is impossible to think of the intellectual landscape of Britain today without recognising the power of Crosland's The Future of Socialism in all aspects of the political debate. Still relevant 50 years after it was first published, Crosland's masterwork was a radical reworking of the role of the post-war Labour Party. This book sets out the philosophy for the New Labour project and also contains the key for reviving the fortunes of the Party of the future. Also included is a piece by Dick Leonard, Crosland's Personal Private Secretary and who knew the radical philosopher well, and an afterword from Susan Crosland.

Anthony Crosland by Kevin Jefferys Pdf

Anthony Crosland was one of the most fascinating and important figures in British politics since the war. As a young Labour MP in 1956 he wroteThe Future of Socialism,a book which established his reputation as the chief intellectual force behind "revisionism" on the left for a generation to come. He reached high office in 1976 when James Callaghan appointed him Foreign Secretary. It was widely assumed that Crosland would go on to become Chancellor and mount a serious bid for the party leadership. A career of great promise was cut short, however, when he died in 1977, aged only 58, prompting comparisons with other "lost leaders" such as Gaitskell and Iain Macleod. This new study, based upon private papers and interviews with friends and colleagues, provides an integrated account of Crosland's writing and political career. The book considers his significance as a proponent of social equality within an affluent society, and assesses his legacy in the aftermath of Labour's stunning electoral defeat at the hands of Margaret Thatcher in 1979.

Rebuilding Social Democracy by Kevin Hickson Pdf

The British Labour Party could hardly be more obviously in crisis. Though the party held power from 1997 to 2010, at the end of that period it was intellectually exhausted, and its opposition to the Coalition Government and the subsequent Conservative Government was largely ineffective. This book aims to fix that, offering a clearly defined set of aims and values that the Labour Party can use to rebuild itself and the nation. Rooting the discussion in foundational principles like social justice, equality, welfare, social cohesion, and more, the book offers leading academics a platform from which to begin the revival of center-left thought and practice in Britain.

What kind of democracy is this? by Flinders, Matthew Pdf

Has there ever been a period in modern history when democratic politics seemed more unpredictable or unruly? The old rules by which politics was once both ordered and understood have waned, in the face of a set of global challenges almost beyond control or comprehension. In terms of understanding these challenges, there are very few commentators who can run the gamut from democracy to disgust, from the micro to the macro and from love to loathing. And yet this is exactly what Matthew Flinders delivers, expertly ranging across topics including architecture, art, fell running and fairy tales in an attempt to understand the emerging democratic landscape. Linking academic scholarship with popular culture, this refreshing and stimulating book seeks to provoke and inform in equal measure.
