Table of ContentsReviews'This is a sophisticated yet highly readable account of relations between unions and political parties in today's hard economic times. The conclusion is important: neither centre-left politicians nor organised labour are prisoners of globalisation, but remain crucial political actors in the quest for a balance between efficiency and social justice.' - Bob Hancke, London School of Economics, UK This is a sophisticated yet highly readable account of relations between unions and political parties in today's hard economic times. The conclusion is important: neither centre-left politicians nor organised labour are prisoners of globalisation, but remain crucial political actors in the quest for a balance between efficiency and social justice. Bob Hancke, London School of Economics, UK It is often argued that trade unions now wield very little influence over governments in liberal market economies. Steve Coulter's original and highly readable research study of the New Labour period in the UK suggests, on the contrary, that with the appropriate leadership and strategy, unions remain a significant political force. John Kelly, Birkbeck, University of London, UK “Steve Coulter’s timely and very welcome book is directly relevant to this debate over trade union politics. The book examines the influence of British trade unions over government policy during the first two New Labour administrations from the late 1990s to mid-2000s.” (Edmund Heery, Transfer, Vol. 22 (2), August, 2016) This is a sophisticated yet highly readable account of relations between unions and political parties in today's hard economic times. The conclusion is important: neither centre-left politicians nor organised labour are prisoners of globalisation, but remain crucial political actors in the quest for a balance between efficiency and social justice. - Bob Hancke, London School of Economics, UK Author InformationSteve Coulter is LSE Fellow in the Political Economy of Europe at the London School of Economics, UK.
