This volume offers a unique comparative perspective on post-war
conservatism, as it traces the rise and mutations of conservative
ideas in three countries - Britain, France and the United States -
across a 'short' twentieth century (1929-1990) and examines the
reconfiguration of conservatism as a transnational phenomenon. This
framework allows for an important and distinctive point --the 1980s
were less a conservative revolution than a moment when
conservatism, understood in Burkean terms, was outflanked by its
various satellites and political avatars, namely, populism,
neoliberalism, reaction and cultural and gender traditionalism. No
long running, unique 'conservative mind' comes out of this book's
transnational investigation. The 1980s did not witness the
ascendancy of a movement with deep roots in the 18th century
reaction to the French Revolution, but rather the decline of
conservatism and the rise of movements and rhetoric that had
remained marginal to traditional conservatism.
