Book Synopsis The Conservative Party and European Integration Since 1945 by : N.J. Crowson
Download or read book The Conservative Party and European Integration Since 1945 written by N.J. Crowson and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2006-12-05 with total page 321 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume provides an up-to-date and comprehensive introduction to British policy in Europe. By exploring the schisms within the party over Europe, through primary source-based history and theoretical discourses of political science, N.J. Crowson gives the reader the best sense of understanding of how and why the Conservative party’s policy attitudes to European integration have evolved. The Conservative Party and European Integration since 1945 adopts a thematic line based around two chronological periods, 1945–75 and 1975–2006, and uses different methodological approaches. It explores the shifting stances amongst Conservatives within an economic, political and international context as the party adjusted to the decline of Britain’s world role and the loss of empire. Crowson analyzes Britain’s role and relationship with Europe together with the study of the Conservative Party, and deals with economic, commercial and monetary issues, successfully bridging a serious gap in any discussion of the UK’s relations with the European Union and appreciation of the political world in which Conservative European policy has been framed and pursued since 1945. This book is recommended for background reading in undergraduate courses in British politics and European history.

Book Synopsis The Conservative Party and Europe by : Ben Patterson
Download or read book The Conservative Party and Europe written by Ben Patterson and published by . This book was released on 2011 with total page 404 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Former Conservative Member of the European Parliament Ben Patterson explores the complex relationship between the Conservative Party and what started out as the Common Market and has ended up as today's European Union. He shows a relationship with Europe that was always ambivalent - Churchill famously called for a "United States of Europe" but the counter-pull of Empire and alliance with America were strong in the post-war period - but ultimately led to Macmillan applying to join the EEC. Edward Heath faced down residual anti-Common Market sentiment in his own party and the country at large, leading Britain to membership in 1973, a result convincingly confirmed by referendum in 1975. The party's relationship with Europe was frequently abrasive under Margaret Thatcher, but support for Britain's actively engaged membership remained strong within Tory ranks, buoyed by Thatcher's success on the British rebate and the progress to the single market, much favoured by all strands of opinion in the party. Over the last two decades, however, there has been a steady erosion of the old mainstream centrist pro-Europeanism of the party as Euroscepticism has moved from the disruptive fringe, which so undermined the Major premiership, to influence ever more sections of party opinion. In the process relations with what would otherwise be allied centre-right parties in Europe have become frayed and Britain a more peripheral player in the formulation of EU policy.

Book Synopsis The Worm in the Apple by : Christopher Tugendhat
Download or read book The Worm in the Apple written by Christopher Tugendhat and published by Haus Publishing. This book was released on 2022-08-30 with total page 258 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first extensive history of the relationship between the UK Conservative Party and the European Union. The Conservative Party has been in power for 47 of the 65 years since the end of World War II. During that time the division within the party over Europe has been the enduring drama of British politics—from Churchill’s decision not to join the original European Coal and Steel Community in 1951 to Cameron’s decision to hold the Brexit referendum in 2016. Other leaders came and went, but the issue was always there—sometimes center-stage, at others behind the scenes—destabilizing foreign policy, corroding the body politic, and destroying several of the party’s leaders. These questions, and how they panned out, created a deep, grumbling discontent—the worm in the apple—that, over time, turned the Conservative Party and, by extension, a significant section of the electorate, against British membership of the EU. By telling the story of the arguments and divisions within the Conservative Party, The Worm in the Apple helps to explain why Britain voted to leave the European Union in 2016.
Book Synopsis The European Conservatives and Reformists (ECR) by : Martin H. M. Steven
Download or read book The European Conservatives and Reformists (ECR) written by Martin H. M. Steven and published by . This book was released on 2020 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the first study of the political activities of the European Conservatives and Reformists (ECR), now the third largest group in the European Parliament. ECR has so far been largely dismissed as merely another Euro-sceptic faction by political scientists and Brussels policy-makers - yet this book argues that ECR ought instead to be recognised as the main voice for Conservatism in Strasbourg promoting 'Anglosphere' free market values and the role of NATO in international relations. Drawing on interviews with MEPs, this book is the first major in-depth analysis of ECR and its 'Euro-realist' agenda, covering its origins and development in the British Conservatives through to the role of member parties such as Law and Justice (PiS) from Poland. This book will be of interest to anyone with an interest in Conservative politics and the work of the European Parliament.

Book Synopsis Why the ‘Europe Question’ remains intractable for the Conservative Party despite leave by : Joshua Norton
Download or read book Why the ‘Europe Question’ remains intractable for the Conservative Party despite leave written by Joshua Norton and published by GRIN Verlag. This book was released on 2018-07-17 with total page 50 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bachelor Thesis from the year 2017 in the subject Politics - Topic: European Union, grade: 1st Class Honours, University of Ulster, language: English, abstract: The Maastricht Treaty of 1992 heralded an era of the intensification of European integration which served to amplify divisions within the Conservative Party. Using the case studies of John Major and David Cameron’s respective grapples with party division over Europe, this study looks at the intractability of the so-called ‘Europe Question’ for the Conservative Party. Policies of party management adopted by both Major and Cameron have proven to be unsuccessful, ultimately leading to an in/out referendum on the UK’s membership of the European Union which was won by the leave campaign on 23rd June 2016. This study argues that the divisions over the ‘Europe Question’ within the Conservative Party have become increasingly ideological and will therefore persist following the referendum in relation to the nature of the Brexit negotiations and the nature of the UK’s new relationship with Europe.
Book Synopsis The Conservative Party by : Tim Bale
Download or read book The Conservative Party written by Tim Bale and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2017-01-19 with total page 398 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Conservatives are back, and back with a bang two election wins in a row and, providing they can hold things together, in a pretty good position to win another. But many questions about their recent past, present, and future still remain. Just why did the worlds oldest and most successful political party dump Margaret Thatcher only to commit electoral suicide under John Major? And what stopped the Tories getting their act together until David Cameron came along? Did Cameron change his party as much as he sometimes liked to claim, or did his leadership, both in opposition and in government, involve more compromise - and more Conservatism than we realize? Finally, what does the result of the EU referendum mean for the Party in years to come? The answers, as this accessible and gripping book shows, are as intriguing and provocative as the questions. Based on in-depth research and interviews with the key players, Tim Bale explains how and why the Tories lost power in 1997 and how and why they have eventually been able to rediscover their winning ways, even if internal tensions and external challenges mean they still cant take anything for granted. Crucial, he suggests, are the people, the power structures, the ideas, and the very different interests of those involved. This second edition of The Conservative Party: From Thatcher to Cameronis a must-read for anyone wanting to understand what makes the Tories tick.
Book Synopsis The Conservative Party and the nation by : Arthur Aughey
Download or read book The Conservative Party and the nation written by Arthur Aughey and published by Manchester University Press. This book was released on 2018-04-03 with total page 209 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book re-examines the claim of the Conservative Party to be the ‘national party’ and in its politics to express the enduring ‘national interest’. It explores the historical character of the Conservative Party, in particular the significance of the nation in its self-understanding. It addresses the political culture of the modern party, one which proclaims a Unionist vocation but rests mainly on English support, and considers how the Englishness of the party is reconciled with the politics of British statecraft. It considers the constitutional challenges which the Conservative Party faces in managing a changing Union, in negotiating a changing Europe and in defining a changing national interest. The book is essential reading not only for students and scholars of the Conservative Party but also for those who want to make sense of the transformations taking place in modern British politics.
Book Synopsis Euroscepticism in Contemporary British Politics by : Anthony Forster
Download or read book Euroscepticism in Contemporary British Politics written by Anthony Forster and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2003-09-02 with total page 169 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Anthony Forster argues that euroscepticism, in addition to being a political stance, displays the seeds of becoming a new faith. Through a detailed analysis of British post-war politics, he shows the development of a core set of beliefs, a history of persecution, displays of moral rectitude in opposing Europe and the power of scepticism to change existing beliefs. This challenging new history of euroscepticism will be a valuable resource for undergraduate students of politics and European studies.
Book Synopsis Peace, war and party politics by : Geoffrey Hicks
Download or read book Peace, war and party politics written by Geoffrey Hicks and published by Manchester University Press. This book was released on 2013-07-19 with total page 399 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Peace, war and party politics examines the mid-Victorian Conservative Party’s significant but overlooked role in British foreign policy and in contemporary debate about Britain’s relations with Europe. The book considers the Conservatives’ response – in opposition and government – to the tumultuous era of Napoleon III, the Crimean war and Italian unification. Within a clear chronological framework, it focuses on ‘high’ politics, and offers a detailed account of the party’s foreign policy in government under its longest-serving but forgotten leader, the fourteenth Earl of Derby. It attaches equal significance to domestic politics, and incorporates a provocative new analysis of Disraeli’s role in internal tussles over policy, illuminating the roots of the power struggle he would later win against Derby’s son in the 1870s. Overall, it helps to provide us with a fuller picture of mid-Victorian Britain’s engagement with the world. This book will be of use to those teaching and studying Victorian politics and foreign policy at all levels in higher education.
Book Synopsis The European Conservatives and Reformists (ECR) by : Martin Steven
Download or read book The European Conservatives and Reformists (ECR) written by Martin Steven and published by Manchester University Press. This book was released on 2020-08-04 with total page 179 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The European Conservatives and Reformists (ECR) are now established as one of the larger groups in the European Parliament and from 2014 to 2019 had more MEPs than the Liberals, Greens or radical left and right-wing factions. Despite this, ECR has so far been largely dismissed by political scientists, journalists and Brussels policy-makers as merely another Euro-sceptic faction. Representing the first major study of the political activities of ECR and its ‘Euro-realist’ agenda, this book argues that ECR ought to be recognised as the main voice for Conservatism in Strasbourg, promoting ‘Anglosphere’ free market values and the role of NATO in international relations. The book begins with an examination of the origins and early development of ECR, when British Conservative leader David Cameron established the group in a Euro-sceptic gesture to his party. Cameron failed, however, to see the isolating long-term consequences of withdrawing his MEPs from the powerful European People’s Party (EPP). Other chapters examine the role of ECR member parties in its development and profile – including Law and Justice (PiS) from Poland, the Czech Civic Democrats (ODS), the New Flemish Alliance (N-VA) and the Danish People’s Party (DF). Drawing on interviews with MEPs and other key figures, the book concludes with an analysis of the leadership and policy activities of ECR politicians in Brussels and Strasbourg in an attempt to measure influence.

Book Synopsis The Conservative Party After Brexit by : Tim Bale
Download or read book The Conservative Party After Brexit written by Tim Bale and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2023-03-13 with total page 250 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Conservative Party can lay convincing claim to being the world's most successful political party, not least because it is also one of the most adaptable, often appearing to do and say pretty much whatever it takes to win. But has it now taken things too far? Since the UK voted to leave the EU back in 2016, the Tories have arguably done more than simply re-shape themselves: rather, they seem to have transformed themselves from a mainstream centre-right party into a counter-intuitive combination of radical right-wing populism, free market fundamentalism, and fiscal constraint that is arguably not only inherently unstable but also poses a threat to many of the norms of both liberal democracy and economic common sense. In this compelling and persuasively argued book, Tim Bale, one of the country's foremost experts on contemporary British politics, takes us on a rollercoaster ride through the Conservatives' fortunes over the last decade. From the bombshell Brexit referendum, through to the chaotic premierships of Theresa May, Boris Johnson, and Liz Truss, and all the way up to Rishi Sunak’s rise to power, Bale tells the fascinating tale of a party that, in just a few short years, has gone from nervous breakdown to top of the world – and back again.
