This broad-ranging and original text provides an accessible
introduction to British politics since 1945, challenging many
well-established orthodoxies. It focuses on conceptions of
political consensus, evolution and transformation, continuity and
discontinuity in presenting a consistent and distinctive account of
social, political and economic change in the postwar years. The
book offers a novel perspective on the development of the British
state and of British politics over this period.
In so doing, it represents a lively and engaging contribution to
existing debates, demonstrating to students the highly contested
nature of political change in the postwar years. The book,
published at a crucial moment in the evolution of the British
state, provides a reassessment of the era of Conservative dominance
as well as an account of the meaning and role of New Labour couched
in the broader context of the postwar years.
"Postwar British Politics in Perspective" will be essential
reading for all students and academics concerned with questions of
social, political and economic change in Britain and for all those
interested in the prospects for British politics.
