Abstract
The purpose of this article is to overturn some key assumptions on the nature of populism in relation to culture and policy. Populism is often defined in terms of a Right-wing appeal to mass culture and uneducated taste, unmediated by political institutions and the reflexive historical discourse of modernity. While the subject of culture and populism is huge, and cannot be fully broached here, this article takes a period of unique policy innovation — New Labour's first terms in government in the UK. It assesses the way culture and policy were articulated and positioned between urban and social policies, creating the conditions for a form of "social instrumentalism" that was as irresistible to the Left as it was acceptable to the Right. This article assesses the apparent paradoxes of social instrumentalism and its implications with regard culture, democracy and the political function of public policies.
