The Search for Democratic Renewal

Examines both the political and policy implications of efforts by the centre-left to transform democracy

Description

Why is the search for democratic renewal so elusive? This book examines both the political and policy implications of efforts by the centre-left to transform democracy. This is a story not only about democratic change, but also the identity crisis of centre-left political parties.

The book offers a fresh critique of the Big Society agenda and analyses why both left and right are searching for democratic renewal. Drawing on high-profile interviews and examining an in-depth series of comparative cases, the book argues that the centre-left's search for democratic renewal contains a range of policy and political aims, contradictions, and tensions.

The Search for Democratic Renewal will be of interest to students, academics, researchers, interest groups, and policy analysts interested in consultation, democratic renewal, labour politics, and Australian and British politics.
