本文试图建立在彼得伯纳姆的分析新工党的去政治化治国方略，在本杂志的前一卷。虽然伯纳姆提供了一个令人信服的说明如何这种新的治理战略不同于早期的“政治化”的治理方法，我们不知道为什么会发生这样的变化。伯纳姆首先提出，国际金融体系的发展在某种程度上可以解释这种转变。本文的主要论点是，这种变化的帐户需要补充的国内因素的重点。下面断言，政治化战略失败的部分原因是国家管理者在战略选择的背景下进行管理，这惩罚了在工业事务中部署更多积极和自由裁量的政策工具。相反，这一背景更有利于1980年代和1990年代出现的去政治化技术。
This article seeks to build on Peter Burnham's analysis of New Labour's depoliticisation statecraft as set out in an earlier volume of this journal. While Burnham provides a convincing account of how this new governing strategy differed from earlier ‘politicised’ methods of governance, we know less about why such change took place. Burnham makes a start by suggesting that developments in the international financial system go some way to explaining this shift. The main argument of this article is that this account of change needs to be supplemented by a focus on domestic factors. It is asserted below that politicised strategies failed in part because state managers governed within a strategically selective context which penalised the deployment of more activist and discretionary policy instruments in industrial affairs. Instead, this context was more favourable to the depoliticisation techniques which have emerged in the 1980s and the 1990s.
