In this new book, some of the UK's leading political scientists and historians explore the meaning of this enigmatic government.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eKeir Starmer and the Politics of Caution\u003c\/i\u003e examines the complex links between Starmer and both New Labour and Blue Labour. It ranges across subjects from domestic policy and foreign affairs, to political thought and the structure of the modern Labour Party. The book explores issues of public service management, but also the strategies of government available in a post-Brexit economy, as well as the politics of immigration at a time when Reform UK is gaining popularity.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eUltimately, \u003ci\u003eKeir Starmer and the Politics of Caution\u003c\/i\u003e argues that there is a shape to the government's approach: its aim is to build a state that can respond to the demands of a complex and ageing population, in a challenging global environment.   It does so, however, in the context of tough financial constraints, some of which are self-imposed and which hobble attempts to bring about far-reaching reform.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eRohan McWilliam\u003c\/b\u003e is Professor of Modern British History and Co-Director of the Labour History Research Unit at Anglia Ruskin University, UK.
