Conservative Century

Angebote / Angebote:

The Conservative Party has been the dominant force in twentieth-century British politics. On its own or as the predominant partner in a coalition it has held power for more than sixty years since 1900. Despite this it has been the most neglected and misunderstood of all the main parties. This book is the first systematic attempt to survey the history and politics of the Conservative Party across the whole of the twentieth century from the `Khaki' election of 1900 to John Major's victory of 1992 and beyond. Each of the authoritative team of contributors pursues an important theme within three main areas, the composition and structure of the Party, its ideas, policies and actions in government, and its public image and sources of support in the country. Based upon new research, in particular in the Conservative Party archives, Conservative Century is essential reading for both students and specialists, and offers a mine of fascinating information for anyone interested in British politics.
