ABSTRACT

This paper investigates the British third sector policy and social enterprise policy in the context of New Labour's communitarianism. The interventionist attitude of the Labour party's policy in the third sector has been controversial, and it has been alleged that the government has violated the principle of democracy while weakening the autonomy of civil society. This paper argues that the interventionist approach of the government could be understood in terms of New Labour's communitarianism. The communitarianism was a guiding principle of the government's civil society policy, and it conjucturally needed the role of the strong state because it was faced with the task of rehabilitating the value of community which had been neglected for a long period under Conservative rule in Britain.
