Download or read book British Conservatism written by Peter Dorey and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2010-10-30 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Defence of inequality has always been a core principle of the Conservative Party in Great Britain. Yet the Conservatives have enjoyed great electoral success in a British society marked by widespread inequalities of wealth and income. Peter Dorey here examines the intellectual and political arguments which Conservatives use to justify inequality. He also considers debates between Conservatives over how much inequality is desirable or acceptable. Should inequality be unlimited, in order to promote liberty, incentives and rewards? Or should inequality be kept within certain bounds to prevent social breakdown and political upheaval? Finally, he examines why some less prosperous sections of British society have nonetheless supported the Conservatives instead of political parties promoting equality. This book will be an important resource for students and commentators of contemporary British politics.

Download or read book Party Ideology in Britain written by Leonard Tivey and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2024-03 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First published in 1989, Party Ideology in Britain presents an approach to the study of British politics which is distinctive in its focus on political ideas, rather than on the more familiar organizational basis of party politics. It sets out to explore what the major political traditions in Britain stand for, both in terms of general ideas and in relation to key policy areas. The contributors examine the nature of political ideology in Britain in the period since 1945, as revealed by the party system, and discuss the way in which general ideological positions have been related to policy and practice. Each of the major national party traditions is examined, showing how contemporary party thinkers have sought to apply and adapt the historic principles of their parties in the face of social change, economic problems and international developments. This book will be of interest to students of political science and history.

Book excerpt: It is generally accepted that Britain was held together during the second world war by a spirit of national democratic `consensus'. But whose interests did the consensus serve? And how did it unravel in the years immediately after victory? This well observed and powerfully argued book overturns many of our assumptions about the national spirit of 1939-45. It shows that the current return to right-wing politics in Britain was prefigured by ideologies of change during and immediately after the war.

Book Synopsis The Ideological Origins of the British Empire by : David Armitage
Download or read book The Ideological Origins of the British Empire written by David Armitage and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2000-09-04 with total page 264 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Ideological Origins of the British Empire presents a comprehensive history of British conceptions of empire for more than half a century. David Armitage traces the emergence of British imperial identity from the mid-sixteenth to the mid-eighteenth centuries, using a full range of manuscript and printed sources. By linking the histories of England, Scotland and Ireland with the history of the British Empire, he demonstrates the importance of ideology as an essential linking between the processes of state-formation and empire-building. This book sheds light on major British political thinkers, from Sir Thomas Smith to David Hume, by providing fascinating accounts of the 'British problem' in the early modern period, of the relationship between Protestantism and empire, of theories of property, liberty and political economy in imperial perspective, and of the imperial contribution to the emergence of British 'identities' in the Atlantic world.
Book Synopsis The Ideology of Fascism and the Far Right in Britain by : Mark Hayes
Download or read book The Ideology of Fascism and the Far Right in Britain written by Mark Hayes and published by . This book was released on 2014-06 with total page 474 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Description This book examines the precise nature of fascism as both a system of ideas and a mode of political practice and it looks at the history of organizations and parties loyal to this particular creed in Britain. It is a critical examination of the relative utility of the various theories that have attempted to explain the fascist phenomenon, identifying weaknesses in conventional interpretations. Hayes re-asserts the value of Marxism as an analytic mechanism capable of evaluating the experience of fascism and seeks to identify how, and under what circumstances fascism might re-emerge. Written in a concise and accessible style by an academic who played an active role in anti-fascist politics in Britain, "The Ideology of Fascism and the Far Right in Britain" will be of considerable value to anyone seeking a clearer understanding of fascism and/or, crucially, how best to resist it. Endorsements "Dangerous right-wing figures and parties, which appear somewhat bizarre or marginal or unelectable at one period, can assume enormous significance and power under changing circumstances. This is particularly so at times of economic and or state crisis... At a time when the Far Right is gaining ground across Europe (and Britain is not immune to infection), this book is not only timely but is essential reading for those who care about genuine democracy and the cause of labour." - Tommy McKearney, Former IRA hunger striker and now an organiser with the "Independent Workers Union" "This is a remarkable book. Mark Hayes combines meticulous research and passionate commitment as he charts the ideological genesis and political trajectory of... the] fascist heritage of the far right in Britain." - Jim Slaven, "James Connolly Society, " Scotland "Tautly written and buttressed by forensic research this book is a timely reminder that]... fascism red in tooth and claw never begins with the midnight knock and the concentration camp. It just ends with them. Read the book and gauge for yourself how far we have already travelled on that journey." - Gary' O'Shea, founding member, "Anti-Fascist Action"
