这篇文章问的是，认真对待名人政治意味着什么。它从三个角度做到了这一点。它首先关注新工党的案例，以及名人政治在政党政治沟通和政府政策制定中所扮演的角色。它将两者放在新工党更广泛的文化政策的背景下。这导致了第二个视角，其中的重点是如何在更广泛的社会和政治变化中看待名人政治。对比了大卫·马什和他的同事们所采用的“后现代性”方法，以及阿隆·戴维斯所采用的以媒体为导向的方法。有人建议，这两种方法都需要转向实证研究，文章的最后一部分回顾了现有的名人政治研究，并主张更多地强调(A)名人政治形式的跨国比较，以及(B)观众对名人政客的看法，而不是目前的大规模调查和实验。
This article asks what it means to take celebrity politics seriously. It does so from three perspectives. It begins by looking at the case of New Labour and the role that celebrity politics played in party political communication and in government policy-making. It places both in the context of New Labour's cultural policy more broadly. This leads to a second perspective, in which the focus is upon how celebrity politics might be seen within social and political change more generally. A contrast is drawn between the ‘late modernity’ approach adopted by David Marsh and his colleagues, and the media-oriented approach adopted by Aeron Davis. Both approaches, it is suggested, invite a turn to empirical investigation, and the article's final section reviews existing research into celebrity politics, and argues for more emphasis on (a) cross-national comparison of forms of celebrity politics, and (b) audience perceptions of celebrity politicians, going beyond the current focus on large-scale surveys and experimentation.
