Just published the second volume of Selsdon’s life of Blair:
Seldon, A., Snowdon, P. and Collings, D. (2007) Blair unbound. London: Simon & Schuster.
The introduction provides a key to understanding how interpretations of Blair’s premiership and legacy are likely to develop.
A useful paper for the Tories and Europe seminar in the way it discusses European having been historicised as the ‘other’; also insights on Blair and his relationship with the (predominantly Euro-sceptic) media:
Daddow, O.J. (2007) ‘Playing games with history: Tony Blair’s European policy in the press’, British Journal of Politics and International Relations, 9 (4), pp. 582-98.
Also across my desk this week:
Nordhaus, W.D. (2007) ‘A review of the Stern Review on the economics of climate change’, Journal of Economic Literature, 45 (3), pp. 686-702.
Weitzman, M.L. (2007) ‘A review of the Stern Review on the economics of climate change’, Journal of Economic Literature, 45 (3), pp. 703-24.
Some of this is a bit technical, but if you are looking for how economists rate Stern (and in the process raise some important issues about good government policy) this is well worth reading.
