The Blair effect 2001-5 ( Book )
7 editions published in 2005 in English and held by 518 libraries worldwide
"Tony Blair's strong start to his third term, with his role in capturing the Olympic Games for Britain, his statesman-like handling of the aftermath of the terrorist attacks on London, his promise of a new start to the European Union and his leadership of the G8 summit at Gleneagles, has brought his relatively lacklustre second term into sharp relief. The second term should have been the time when New Labour fulfilled its manifesto promises. So what changed between 2001 and 2005 and what was achieved? How far was Blair himself responsible, and what was Gordon Brown's influence? What was the impact of the Iraq war? And what of Blair's policy towards Europe? Anthony Seldon and Dennis Kavanagh gather together leading academics and journalists to provide an authoritative assessment of Blair's second term, including a review of New Labour in government from 1997 to the present"-- provided by publisher.

Election campaigning : the new marketing of politics by Dennis Kavanagh ( Book )
5 editions published between 1995 and 1997 in English and held by 273 libraries worldwide
The advent of new technology and the importation of 'professional communicators' have transformed the nature of British election campaigning. In this book, the first free exploration of these changes, Dennis Kavanagh examines this so-called process of 'Americanization', characterized by the increasing importance of the media in elections and the rise of advertising agencies, pollsters, public relations advisers and speechwriters. He shows how the 'professional communicators' function within British politics, and assesses the reaction of the politicians themselves to the changing environment of election campaigns.
