Culture, Economy and Politics cover

This book focuses on cultural policy in the UK between 1997 and 2010 under the Labour party (or 'New Labour', as it was temporarily rebranded). It is based on interviews with major figures and examines a range of policy areas including the arts, creative industries, copyright, film policy, heritage, urban regeneration and regional policy.

“This is a very valuable book, in part as it fills a huge gap in the research. … this book covers a huge territory as it is, and given its achievement in presenting a series of complex situations with admirable clarity, it should become a core text on any reading list relating to UK culture and politics since Thatcher.” (Jonathan Vickery, Democratic Audit UK, democraticaudit.com, January, 2017)
