The magazine The New Left Review in 1960 in the UK founded when the editors of the magazines New Reasoner and Universities and Left Review editors brought together both publications. The magazine was one of the most influential publications within the New Left in Britain.

Universities and Left Review emerged from the Suez crisis in 1956 and criticized the Labor Party's revisionist line from a Marxist perspective.

The New Left Review was initially published by Stuart Hall , who was replaced by Perry Anderson in 1962 . The magazine became a forum for discussion of Western Marxism . In 1964, the magazine was Socialist Register of Ralph Miliband and John Saville founded as a sort of counter-project. Edward P. Thompson , as a critic of the opening to Western Marxism, turned away from the NLR in the late 1960s and was instead affiliated with the Socialist Register.

Robin Blackburn took over the editorship in 1982. In 2000 Perry Anderson became editor again. The magazine was relaunched, it got a new design and the political line changed. Some critics see the new line as a de facto surrender to the right. Susan Watkins has been the editor since 2003.

In the 1970s, the magazine's Marxist state theorists Nicos Poulantzas and Ralph Miliband debated the capitalist state in several articles. Ernesto Laclau invoked with his own contribution. The occasion was a critical review of the work The State in Capitalist Society by Miliband by Poulantzas.

The British daily The Guardian described the New Left Review in 1993 as the "flagship of the Western intellectual left". In 2003, the Institute for Scientific Information ranked the New Left Review 12th among the 20 most important political science journals worldwide in an impact factor analysis .
