After three eventful terms in office as Prime Minister, what will be Tony Blair's long-term legacy to politics? Using a detailed international comparison of Labourite politics, The New Progressive Dilemma proposes a disturbing future after New Labour. Based on interviews with key players in three countries, here is an intriguing account of the 'ideas' that underpinned Blairism. It looks, in particular, to the influence of events as they unfolded in Australia from the early 1980s.
