Description: The Modernisation of the Labour Party, 1979?97Author(s): Christopher Massey Format: Hardback Publisher: Manchester University Press, United Kingdom Imprint: Manchester University Press ISBN-13: 9781526144423, 978-1526144423 Synopsis This monograph recasts the modernisation of the Labour Party and sheds new light on Labour?s years in the wilderness between 1979 and 1997. The monograph uniquely traces the party?s major organisational changes across its eighteen years of opposition. Labour?s organisational modernisation in this period fundamentally altered the party?s internal structures, policy-making pathways and constitution. The study begins with an investigation into the scene inherited by Labour?s leadership in the early 1980s and examines Neil Kinnock?s quest for a stable majority on the party?s ruling National Executive Committee between 1983 and 1987. From this position the monograph surveys the major organisational changes of the Labour Party in their period of opposition: the Policy Review (1987?92), One Member, One Vote (1992?94), Clause IV (1995?96) and Partnership in Power (1996?97). Through a re-examination of Labour?s modernisation, in the light of new source material and extensive primary interviews, this research significantly contributes to the understanding of the rise of New Labour. -- .
