| 内容記述 | This paper addresses the changes that took place in the Labour Party under Tony Blair’s leadership. It examines what happened to the internal organization of the party and what effect this had on the identity and nature of the party. The theory of party organization devised by Robert Michels known as “the iron law of oligarchy” is used to examine the balance of power between party leadership and rank-andfile within the Labour Party. During the early 1980s the rank-and-file members of the party were able to exert their influence against the wishes of most of the leadership. In the late 1980s and into the 1990s, however, the leadership re-asserted their authority. Tony Blair was at first a very popular and charismatic leader who seemed to justify the “psychological causes of oligarchy” described by Michels. However, his popularity and the electoral success of the Labour Party subsequently declined. The paper then investigates four possible long-term effects of Blair’s leadership on the party. (1) The Labour Party became a kinder and gentler version of Thatcher’s Conservative Party. (2) The Labour Party under Blair tried to modernize and adapt to new challenges but ultimately failed to do so. (3) The Labour Party modernized and adapted to new external conditions while retaining its core values. (4) Blair modernized the party to such an extent that it was transformed into a new kind of progressive party suitable to the politics of the 21st Century. The paper concludes that none of these four options describes adequately the entire story of the rise and fall of New Labour under Tony Blair’s leadership. Each account does, however, describe in part what happened during the two decades of the 1990s and the 2000s. |
