Editorial Review
In his clearly written and well organised study, Jason Schulman provides valuable information about the embrace and implementation of neoliberal policies by the New Zealand, British and Australian labour parties from the 1980s through to the mid 2000s, with particular emphasis on relationships between labor governments and union leaders.'
