New Labour, new welfare state? by Martin Powell

This classic text provides the first comprehensive examination of the social policy of New Labour. It compares and contrasts current policy areas with both the Old Left and the New Right and applies the concept of the 'third way' to both individual policy areas and broader cross-cutting themes.
"This very substantial book.. gives a comprehensive account of the social welfare policies of the Labour government" Labour Research
"There probably isn't another assessment as comprehensive as this available." New Labour Organiser
"No reading list on contemporary British social policy should be without it!" Ruth Lister
"Books which deal comprehensively and yet critically with the New Labour government’s third way for welfare reform will quickly become required reading for all students of social policy. This collection achieves both of these goals and is therefore deserving of such wide attention." Pete Alcock
"... packed with information ... it can be used as a valuable reference book." Labour Research
Martin Powell is Professor of Social Policy in the Department of Applied Social Science, University of Stirling.
