About this Item

Paperback. This special book from the editors of Soundings sets out a medium term agenda for the kind of politics Britain needs in the next decade. The decisions that the government make concerning the economy, consitution and Europe will undoubtedly play a major part in shaping the political terrain well into the next century. The need for in depth analysis, strategic thinking and farshighted political imagaination couldn't be clearer and this is what Soundings has been providing to its subscribers since its launch two years ago. The Next Ten Years addresses a range of issues which are part of the emerging new political agenda: changing settlements between the government and the people; new approaches for tackling inequality, law and order, and the unions; the looming transport crisis; and the dire state of our national diet. The landslide victory has provided an immense opportunity for political change. And it is in the hope of contributing to this propsect that this book has been prepared. 142 pp. (We carry a wide selection of titles in The Arts, Theology, History, Politics, Social and Physical Sciences. academic and scholarly books and Modern First Editions ,and all types of Academic Literature.).

About this title

Synopsis

This study by the editors of "Soundings" begins to set out an agenda for politics under what is hoped will be at least ten years of new Labour government. The first days of the new government have seen the government make good on the voters' insistence on change. But changes taking many years will need a fund of ideas and rigorous thinking. Labour's manifesto leaves space open for this, and this book offers a contribution towards it. Featuring political contributors drawn from the pool of "Soundings" writers, it opens up a comprehensive dialogue with Tony Blair. The book covers a range of themes, from equality, the economy, transport, food, law and order, foreign policy, to reflections on good and bad government.
