Toulouse School of Graduate Studies LaCoco, Kimberly. British Prime Minister Tony Blair’s Decision to Go to War in Iraq: An Evaluation of Motivating Factors. Master of Science (History), May 2009, 136 pp., bibliography, 120 titles. Blair sent British troops to join U.S. forces in the invasion of Iraq in 2003 at great political cost to himself. What motivated him to take this step? Sources for this work include: autobiographies and biographies of individuals close to Blair; journal and newspaper articles and monographs on this topic; Prime Minister’s speeches and press conferences. Part one is comprised of five chapters including the Introduction; Blair’s years at school; Blair’s early political career; and From Parliament to Prime Minister. Part two includes four chapters that analyze motivating factors such as, Anglo-American Relations; Blair’s personality, faith, and his relationship with Gordon Brown; and finally, Blair’s perception of Britain’s Manifest Destiny. All of these factors played a role in Blair’s decision.

  • The Politics of Anti-Austerity in Liverpool: a More-Than-Cuts Approach
    THE POLITICS OF ANTI-AUSTERITY IN LIVERPOOL: A MORE-THAN-CUTS APPROACH THESIS SUBMITTED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE REQUIREMENTS OF THE UNIVERSITY OF LIVERPOOL FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR IN PHILOSOPHY BY JOSHUA BLAMIRE OCTOBER 2017 Department of Geography and Planning School of Environmental Science University of Liverpool ABSTRACT This thesis examines the politics of anti-austerity in Liverpool, UK. Through a politically- engaged activist ethnography, interviews with anti-austerity activists and city councillors, and content analysis, the research explores how both grassroots actors and Liverpool City Council conceptualise and politicise austerity, as well as how they imagine, or begin to enact, political alternatives to austerity. In response to growing calls from geographers to interrogate the situatedness of anti-austerity politics, this thesis adopts an explicitly spatial reading of the organic evolution of anti-austerity resistance. Through so doing, it illustrates how a crisis that was initially sparked by mortgage defaults in the US has resulted, a decade later, in the contested reshaping of what a Liverpudlian political identity is, or should be. Accordingly, this thesis critiques dominant structuralist accounts that depict people and place as passive victims in the roll-out of austerity politics, which lead to politically disempowering analyses. The research considers what the potentialities and limits are to the conduct of anti-austerity politics at the municipal scale, and reveals that Liverpool City Council’s strategy of austerity-inspired urban entrepreneurialism, coupled with more nuanced strategies to pursue social justice within a competitive neoliberal environment, was dominant. The voices of grassroots activists were unheard in public political debate, and their politics was constrained by a number of structural and strategic dysfunctions.

  • Members' Contribution to the Investigation Into Liverpool
    Contribution to the investigation into Liverpool Riverside Constituency Labour Party 1. We understand that the National Executive Committee of the Labour Party has directed an investigation into the affairs of our Constituency Labour Party (CLP). 2. Various reasons have been given in the press for this investigation. It has been three weeks until we saw any kind of official notice. We do not know who will be conducting it, what questions they will be asking, whether this is a matter of party discipline or any other details. We do not even know the extent to which party activity is suspended, save that one newspaper has said that we cannot hold an AGM. 3. This state of uncertainty is not good for party morale or togetherness. It offers no encouragement to members to come forward and express their views. It does not help the investigators either, who are finding themselves having to explain their position as they go along. 4. Nevertheless, we believe it would be helpful if we set out our concerns about the state of this CLP, indicating where the problems have arisen and dealing with some of the accusations that have been levelled at certain members or the CLP in general. Much of this will have to do with the CLP's overall working and the help it might give to bring about the next Labour government. OVERALL WORKING OF THE CLP 5. Liverpool Riverside is, politically, a safe Labour constituency. The sitting MP has one of the largest majorities in the country. Six of the seven council wards that make up the constituency are represented solely by Labour councillors (the exception, St Michael's, is held by the Greens).

Vote Conservative CHARLIE WHELAN'S NEW MILITANT TENDENCY INTRODUCTION FROM CONSERVATIVE PARTY CHAIRMAN, ERIC PICKLES ‘New Labour is the political arm of none other than the British people as a whole’ – Tony Blair, Labour Party Manifesto, 1997 ‘It is absolutely fair to describe the Labour Party as the political wing of Unite. It influences Labour more than any other organisation and it is really hard to underestimate the extent to which Unite runs the operations of the party’ – Peter Watt, Labour's former General Secretary, 2010 This document shines a light on the great untold story of British politics: how Unite, Britain’s biggest trade union, has taken advantage of Labour’s near bankruptcy and the departure of Tony Blair to gain an unprecedented grip on the party. Under the political direction of Charlie Whelan, Unite is using its financial and organisation muscle to drive government policy and build a Labour Party very different to the one that appealed to Middle England and won three general elections. Instead, with Gordon Brown as leader, there has been a reversal of much-needed public service reforms, a return to industrial militancy and a regression into atavistic class war rhetoric. Charlie Whelan’s New Militant Tendency sets out in detail the way in which, in the three years since Gordon Brown became Prime Minister, Unite has spent more than £11 million of its members’ money on buying influence within the Labour Party.

James Strong Department of International Relations London School of Economics and Political Science 2 Abstract When Tony Blair took Britain to war in Iraq in 2003, he overruled vociferous opposition from both the wider public and members of his own governing party. Public opinion was exercised by the issue on a vast scale. Over one million marched in London against the war. Opinion polls uniformly showed majority opposition to the use of force. Newspapers, the engine of media debate in this country, mostly attacked the government line, and encouraged their readers to protest or even, in one case, to rebel.
