Kinnock
Neil Kinnock's reputation is regarded by many as ripe for rehabilitation. This biography explores his transformation of the Labour Party and his role in vanquishing the 'loony left' and moving the party to the centre ground.
Slipping Loose
Martin Westlake argues that focus on the short-term causes of the Brexit vote has overshadowed a series of longer-term trends that were leading or pushing the UK away from full membership of the European Union. He shows that the UK was an increasingly semi-detached member, requiring ever more elaborate fixes to keep its involvement in the project.
The European Union’s New Foreign Policy
This volume brings together senior practitioners and academic specialists to consider how the EU’s new foreign policy has been evolving and how the various actors are maintaining the holistic approach intended by the draftsmen of the 2009 Lisbon Treaty.
Outside the Eu
In the debates about the UK's future relationship with the European Union, all sorts of possible alternatives have been bandied about, from "Singapore on Thames" to "Canada Plus", from "Switzerland" to "Ukraine", from "Norway" to "Australia". But what do these alternative relationship models really consist of and would they really be viable for the UK? Martin Westlake brings together distinguished practitioners and experts to examine the various options, real and potential, and to consider whether they would in fact offer a workable solution for the continued relationship between the EU and post-Brexit Britain.
Leaders of Transition
Having struggled to the top of the greasy pole of politics, the six leaders considered in this volume - Mikhail Gorbachev, F.W. de Klerk, General Jaruzelski, Adolfo Suarez, Achille Occhetto, and Neil Kinnock - set about introducing far-reaching changes to their parties or their states. Veritable leaders of transition, they can lay claim to have changed the course of history and yet, ironically, all are now forgotten or vilified and were never able to benefit from the changes they introduced. Why, then, did they do what they did? This book sets out to explore their achievements and their motives.
