Fourteen essays examine the public policies of the "New Labour" administration headed by Tony Blair. They consider the degree to which the labour agenda has changed policy on issues like the economy, unemployment, the environment, crime, health, housing, education, social service, social security, Northern Ireland, and defense. The context of these policies, their implementation, and the impact of Europeanisation are also discussed. Contributors include British scholars of urban studies, politics, geography, history, public policy, administration, education, government, justice, health policy, criminology, and business, as well as advisors to government.
