This study analyses the ‘performance of leadership’ in the UK Labour\nParty, and what this means for a new approach to understanding politics. The\nmain focus of this study is the five-year leadership of Ed Miliband, 2010-2015.\nThe fortunes of the party and the party leadership can be apprehended as a\nseries of performed rhetorical events. A political leader’s persona is a\nconstruction that performs – rather like an actor – in the political space. The\nauthor identifies and analyses the architecture and the modalities of\nleadership persona construction and performance in contemporary politics.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Palgrave Macmillan\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2017-05-30\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Hardcover\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9781137504975\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1057\/978-1-137-50498-2\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 210cm x148cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 267\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Palgrave Macmillan UK","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44752453042316,"sku":"9781137504975","price":89.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9781137504975.jpg?v=1775923461","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9781137504975","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
