Hayton, R (2016) Ideology and Statecraft: A Reply to Griffiths. Parliamentary Affairs, 69 (4). pp. 729-734. ISSN 0031-2290
Abstract
This article offers a qualified defence of statecraft theory. It argues that it helps frame important questions about politics by drawing our analytical attention towards the partisan strategic calculations that politicians make. It cautions, however, that in utilising the statecraft approach we must remain sensitive to the ideational dimension of politics, and to the (often implicit) ideological assumptions of our own theoretical viewpoints.
