Comparative politics; Political leaders & leadership; Political parties

This book provides the first nuanced and systematic study of Labour's internal politics in the years in opposition, between 2010 and 2024, under the leaderships of Ed Miliband, Jeremy Corbyn and Keir Starmer. Written by two authors equipped with an intimate knowledge of the party, it offers an authoritative exploration of the politics of party management in one of the most strife-ridden and turbulent periods of the party's history, the Corbyn leadership, and furnishes a timely analysis of the character, purposes and underpinnings of the Starmer managerial regime. In so doing, it shines new light on often ill-understood controversies over antisemitism, the Israel/Palestine issue, and Brexit while reflecting on the tension between centralisation and pluralism is a party which continues to define itself as a democratic, membership organisation.

Reviews for Order and rebellion: Labour’s managerial politics from Miliband to Starmer

What really happened inside Labour during the years of the Jeremy Corbyn leadership? How did Keir Starmer transform the party so quickly and dramatically after election defeat in 2019? Why have Labour politics proved to be so volatile and unpredictable over the last decade and a half? These issues are at the heart of Order and Rebellion, a comprehensive, well-informed, and original analysis of the party's politics in recent years. Emmanuelle Avril and Eric Shaw, two leading scholars of British politics, have come together to offer a meticulously researched, robustly argued, highly readable, and fascinating account. There is nothing like it in print: all those wishing to understand the febrile nature of British politics post-Brexit must read it. This volume is destined to become the standard work on the organisation of Labour politics after the financial crash. Mark Wickham-Jones -- .
