Abstract

Tony Blair has dominated British political life for more than a decade. Like Margaret Thatcher before him, he has changed the terms of political debate and provoked as much condemnation as admiration. At the end of his era in power, this book presents a wide-ranging overview of the achievements and failures of the Blair governments. Bringing together Britain's most eminent academics and commentators on British politics and society, it examines the effect of the Prime Minister and his administration on the machinery of government, economic and social policy and foreign relations. Combining serious scholarship with clarity and accessibility, this book represents the authoritative verdict on the impact of the Blair years on British politics and society.

Abstract

Tony Blair's strong start to his third term, with his role in capturing the Olympic Games for Britain, his statesman-like handling of the aftermath of the terrorist attacks on London, his promise of a new start to the European Union and his leadership of the G8 summit at Gleneagles, has brought his relatively lacklustre second term into sharp relief. The second term should have been the time when New Labour fulfilled its manifesto promises. So what changed between 2001 and 2005 and what was achieved? How far was Blair himself responsible, and what was Gordon Brown's influence? What was the impact of the Iraq war? And what of Blair's policy towards Europe? Anthony Seldon and Dennis Kavanagh gather together leading academics and journalists to provide an authoritative assessment of Blair's second term, including a review of New Labour in government from 1997 to the present.

Abstract

This is a book about the politics of New Labour that focuses on language. Fairclough gets behind the rhetoric to uncover the real meaning. He examines a wide range of political speeches and texts, from Tony Blair's speech following the death of Diana to the 1997 Labour Party Manifesto and Bill Clinton's book Between Hope and History. New Labour, New Language? blows open the whole debate on the nature of the political discourse of New Labour and the 'Third Way'. Written in a clear, non-technical style and including a glossary, New Labour, New Language? will appeal to anyone interested in language and politics.

Abstract

Ils sont les dirigeants puissants de quatre grands pays laïcs mais la religion constitue leur seul point d'union. C'est la foi qui aurait sauvé George W. Bush de l'alcoolisme, lui donnant la force de devenir le 43e président des Etats-Unis. C'est sous l'influence d'un pasteur gauchiste que l'étudiant Tony Blair se serait ouvert simultanément à la religion et à la politique. C'est dans les cendres de sa datcha que Vladimir Poutine, l'ancien espion du KGB, aurait rencontré Dieu, révélé à lui sous la forme d'une croix de baptême épargnée par les flammes. C'est dans la quiétude d'un monastère que Jacques Chirac, " l'agité ", aurait trouvé la sérénité nécessaire pour relancer sa carrière politique en 1976. Ces croyants qui nous gouvernent suit pas à pas le voyage spirituel de ces quatre "maîtres du monde". Quatre profils très différents dans quatre pays aux traditions politico-religieuses bien distinctes, mais un point commun : tous se sont appuyés sur la religion dans leur quête du pouvoir et aucun n'a résisté à la tentation de mettre en avant sa foi au gré des circonstances. Entre conviction sincère et opportunisme politique, quatre destins souvent tourmentés mais jamais à l'écart de Dieu.
