The new politics of Tony Blair

"The book assesses modern election campaigning styles adopted from studies of the U.S. Democrats. It focuses on the "Americanization" of politics in Europe and discusses Blair and New Labour with comparisons to Schroder in Germany, Jospin in France (the Third Way debate), and political trends in Austria.".

"The book takes a critical view of Blair and explains why he may be in trouble before the next election. Despite high expectations, there is a feeling of disappointment among the people, but Blair hopes he, like Clinton, can overcome the mid-term blues and regain his popularity."--BOOK JACKET.
