The Moderniser's Dilemma: Radical Politics in the Age of Blair

by Signs of the Times Magazine, Mark Perryman

The essays in The Moderniser's Dilemma cover a broad range of opinions, theories and experiences, demonstrating the central concerns that advocates, opponents and observers face when seeking to determine their position in relation to the politics of Blairism. Party reform, the re-structuring of the British state, the competing claims of the theories of modernisation and the potential appeal of an alternative politics of the new are chronicled in detail, providing a critical examination of both the modernisation we know, and of one yet to be discovered.
