It is an examination of the major methodologies and approaches in Labour studies the Labour Party and a critical evaluation and appreciation of much of the most interesting scholarship in this area of study. The essays are written by contributors who have devoted many years to the study of the Labour Party, the trade union movement and the various ideologies associated with them. The book begins with an in-depth analysis of how to study the Labour Party, and goes on to examine key periods in the development of the ideologies to which the party has subscribed. This includes the ideology of inter-war Labourism, the rival post-war perspectives on Labourism, the New Left, and the ‘contentious alliance’ of unions with Labour. Key thinkers analysed include Henry Pelling, Ross McKibbin, Ralph Miliband, Lewis Minkin, David Marquand, Perry Anderson and Tom Nairn. Each chapter situates its subject matter in the context of a broader intellectual legacy, including the works of, among others, Sidney and Beatrice Webb, Theodore Rothstein, Stuart Hall and Samuel Beer. The book will be of interest to undergraduate students of British politics and political theory, and to academics concerned with Labour politics and history, trade union history and politics, research methodology and political analysis.

Political parties once associated with the working class have seemingly embraced capitalism. The trade unions with which these parties were once linked have suffered near-fatal reverses. The industrial proletariat looks both divided and in rapid decline. The development of multi-level governance, prompted by ‘globalisation’ has furthermore apparently destroyed the institutional context for advancing the labour ‘interest’.Many consequently now look on terms such as the ‘working class’,‘socialism’ and the ‘labour movement’ as politically and historically redundant. The purpose of this series is to give a platform to those students of labour movements who challenge, or develop, established ways of thinking and so demonstrate the continued vitality of the subject and the work of those interested in it. For despite appearances many social democratic parties remain important competitors for national office and proffer distinctive programmes. Unions still impede the free flow of ‘market forces’. If workers are a more diverse body and have exchanged blue collars for white, insecurity remains an everyday problem. The new institutional and global context is moreover as much of an opportunity as a threat. Yet, it cannot be doubted that compared to the immediate post- 1945 period, at the beginning of the new millennium what many still refer to as the ‘labour movement’ is much less influential. Whether this should be considered a time of retreat or reconfiguration is unclear – and a question the series aims to clarify The series will not only give a voice to studies of particular national bodies but will also promote comparative works that contrast experiences across time and geography. This entails taking due account of the political, economic and cultural settings in which labour movements have operated. In particular this involves taking the past seriously as a way of understanding the present as well as utilising sympathetic approaches drawn from sociology, economics and elsewhere.

WHAT IS THE FABIAN POLICY? • The Fabian strategy is a military strategy where pitched battles and frontal assaults are avoided in favor of wearing down an opponent through a war of attrition and indirection. While avoiding decisive battles, the side employing this strategy harasses its enemy through skirmishes to cause attrition, disrupt supply and affect morale. Employment of this strategy implies that the side adopting this strategy believes time is on its side, but it may also be adopted when no feasible alternative strategy can be devised. HISTORY • This

  • Radicalism Or Reformism? Socialist Parties Before World War I
    Radicalism or Reformism? Socialist Parties before World War I Gary Marks Heather A. D. Mbaye University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill University of West Georgia VU Amsterdam Hyung Min Kim Inha University This article builds on social movement theory to explain ideological variation among socialist, social democratic, and labor parties across 18 countries in the early twentieth century. We propose a causal argument connecting (1) the political emergence of the bourgeoisie and its middle-class allies to (2) the political space for labor unions and working-class parties, which (3) provided a setting for internal pressures and external opportunities that shaped socialist party ideology. Combining quantitative analysis and case studies, we find that the timing of civil liberties and the strength of socialist links with labor unions were decisive for reformism or radicalism. Refining Lipset’s prior analysis, we qualify his claim that male suffrage provides a key to socialist orientation. hanges in class and political relations in all industrial societies.

Race and Italian identity The manifestations of racism and xenophobia in Italy since the 1990s, especially in response to the new waves of immigration from “the other side” of the Mediterranean, have prompted scholars and cultural critics to take up once again the question of the role of race in Italian history. 1 Once thought to be only a temporary aberration of the Fascist era and essentially alien to the Italian “character,” racism has emerged as a recurrent trait in the behavior and cultural assumptions of Italians, including some of its most prominent political leaders. It is a trait that can arguably be traced back to the nineteenth century, even before the country’s unification. 2 The myth of the “good Italian” finally seems to have crumbled, while race-oriented studies have started to unveil an Italian “tradition” of racism that most textbook accounts of Italian history had long obfuscated or entirely elided. Yet even as racism re-emerges, and is sanctioned by discriminatory laws and policies against immigrants, current political discourse continues to minimize it, while downplaying or denying the historic faults of Italian colonialism and resuscitating the proverbial myth of Italian kindness and moral superiority.

    Outward to the policy can face the future World: How the left’s foreign OUTWARD TO THE WORLD HOW THE LEFT’S FOREIGN POLICY CAN FACE THE FUTURE Fabian Ideas 641 Foreword by Hilary Benn MP, Introduction by Mark Leonard Fabian Ideas 641 The Fabian Society is Britain’s oldest political think tank. Since 1884 the Society has played a central role in developing political ideas and public policy on the left. Through a wide range of publications and events the Society influences political and public thinking, but also provides a space for broad and open-minded debate, drawing on an unrivalled external network and its own expert research and analysis. The Society is alone among think tanks in being a democratically-constituted membership organisation, with almost 7,000 members. During its history the membership has included many of the key thinkers on the British left and every Labour Prime Minister. Today it counts over 200 parliamentarians in its number. Member-led activity includes 70 local Fabian societies, the Scottish and Welsh Fabians, the Fabian Women’s Network and the Young Fabians, which is itself the leading organisation on the left for young people to debate and influence political ideas. The Society was one of the original founders of the Labour Party and is constitutionally affiliated to the party. It is however editorially, organisationally and financially independent and works with a wide range of partners of all political persuasions and none.
