英國工黨於1979年至1997年之中歷經三次選舉的挫敗，在這段期間黨內外左派人士除了檢視英國國內政治、經濟、社會、與文化等所面臨的危機與問題，同時也檢討工黨本身思想理論、組織結構，抑或政策實踐等方面的議題，諸如工人運動停滯不前、傳統工人階級與工會人數逐年下降，與工黨形象過於老舊等，這些所關注的焦點實為左派理論以及社會主義應如何發展與前進的問題。
本論文主要藉由霍爾的觀點與討論，探討1970-1980年代英國左派理論的發展。霍爾從馬克思主義理論與馬克思主義學者諸如葛蘭西、阿圖塞、拉克勞與莫非等思想做為理論基礎，並且結合自身關於文化研究方面的研究成果，進行對於左派理論與實踐的分析與重構。霍爾認為傳統馬克思主義理論過於強調經濟層面與階級力量，而隨著時代與局勢的變遷，經濟層面不再是最具重要的部分，政治、社會、文化與意識型態等方面也同等重要；階級也不再做為革命的主體，人民與社會大眾在左派運動中也在革命中佔據重要角色。
因此，霍爾得出新的左派理論思想，以及新的社會主義發展方向，最主要的是提出「沒有保證的馬克思主義」的理論思想。也就是說，馬克思主義已經無法保證工人階級必然革命，或是歷史有其必然的發展與未來。左派理論的未來發展有賴多元、民主方面努力與新的社會運動領域實踐。霍爾的理論思想也促使左派更加瞭解時代變遷與需要朝向何種方向革新與實踐，同時也提供工黨進行自我改造與更新時的理論基礎。

In the period of 1979 to 1997, the British Labour Party had lost three general elections consecutively. In this period, the British Left not only attempted to examine the socio-political, economic, and cultural crises in Britain, but also investigated the theory, organization structure, and policies of the Labor Party. Due to the swindling support for labour movement, a decrease of members in the trade unions and an outdated image of the Party, all these became the challenges to the British Left who had to face up in their developments of theories.
This paper is aimed to examine the developments of British Left’s theories in the period of 1970s-1980s, from the perspective of Stuart Hall (1932-). Hall elaborates and reconstructs the Left’s theory and practice, on a basis of Marx’s and Marxists’ theories, such as those of Gramsci, Althusser, Laclau and Mouffe, which are then integrated with his own writings in cultural studies. In Hall’s view, the orthodox Marxism with its lop-sided emphasis on economic factor and class struggle has lost its touch with reality. This is because economy has no longer been “the” factor that determines the development of society and history; instead one has to take into account a wide range of factors that involved politics, society, culture and ideology. Neither can class now play any key role in causing any revolution. People, in a broad sense, should be put into consideration instead.
It is based on a more comprehensive base that Hall develops his Leftist thought, giving an impetus to a new direction for socialism by his offer of “Marxism without Guarantees”, that is to say, Marxism would neither guarantee a revolution for the working class, nor any direction for its development, nor for its history a predetermined future. The prospects of the Left theories lie in their efforts to commit itself to pluralism and democracy and to the practices in a widely expanded domain of social movements. Hall‘s theory not only enhances in the Left awareness of social change and of a new direction for innovation and practice, it also provides Labour Party with a theoretical basis for its transformation.
