Contents:
1. Introduction : a sign of the times -- 2. The democratic consequences of new labour -- 3. Iraqnophobia -- 4. The march to war -- 5. Engulfed -- 6. Whiter than white -- 7. Business as usual -- 8. Conclusion : the reform agenda.
Summary: "The events surrounding Brtain's involvement in the war in Iraq have clearly exposed the flaws and weaknesses that are inherent within the British democratic system. A deep-seated adherence to a top-down style of policy-making at the expense of more participatory and accountable forms of governance has been amplified by the internal structures of the New Labour government itself. The consequences have left an indelible mark on Britain's political landscape that will endure for many years"--Publisher description.
