‘an extremely welcome and useful book…the best available text in the field.’ – Gregory Claeys, Albion ‘A comprehensive encyclopaedia of the ideology of the British Labour Movement…What emerges is by far the clearest account I have ever read of its strengths and weaknesses.’ – Tony Benn, MP This book provides a synoptic and accessible history of the development of political ideas within the Labour Party. It traces the complex relationship between power and political thought and illustrates how Labour’s political ideas have been shaped and formed by the Labour Party’s political experience. It presents ‘labourism’ or trade union politics as a clear theory and stresses its importance in understanding the different phases in the party’s history, arguing that it constitutes the bedrock of the party’s thought and that its crisis has caused the recent changes in party ideology.

Party System Changes and Challenges to Democracy Slovenia in a Comparative Perspective


Free Download Danica Fink-Hafner, "Party System Changes and Challenges to Democracy: Slovenia in a Comparative Perspective"
English | ISBN: 3031549481 | 2024 | 253 pages | PDF | 5 MB
This open access book focuses on the nexus between "party system stability" and "democratic consolidation", using Slovenia as a case study. Its findings are presented from a comparative perspective to illustrate the commonalities and differences found in research on Central European post-socialist countries and former Yugoslav countries. On the one hand, Slovenia’s characteristics (including the characteristics of its transition to democracy) are far more similar to those of Central European post-socialist countries than Western Balkan countries. On the other, Slovenia shares some similarities with other parts of the former Yugoslavia – especially its experiences with the political system of socialist self-management, elements of a market economy under socialism, and war following the end of socialism (albeit the conflict in Slovenia was very short and rather mild in comparison to those in other parts of socialist Yugoslavia). Slovenia’s experiences with rapid but limited democraticbacksliding under the Janša government (March 2019-June 2022) were halted by the 2022 national election – in contrast to the more widely known cases of Hungary and Poland, where such backsliding took place incrementally over a longer period of time that included several election cycles.

Party Life Chinese Governance and the World Beyond Liberalism


Free Download Eric Li, "Party Life: Chinese Governance and the World Beyond Liberalism"
English | ISBN: 9819945216 | 2023 | 278 pages | PDF | 4 MB
The emergence of China as a great power is perhaps the most consequential development for the world in the 21st century. Yet, what the Western world sees in this development is largely through the prism of misinterpreted ideological dichotomy and misguided geopolitical rivalry. This book offers a deep look at the Chinese Communist Party and the nation it leads at conceptual, historic, and operational levels. If Thomas Kuhn’s concept of paradigm shift can be used in the social sciences, then China would represent the most significant anomaly to the dominant liberal exemplar. For students of China and of politics in general, and for the Western political and commercial elites, if they were to read one book about China to grasp the nature and weight of the Chinese phenomenon, Party Life would be it.
