No other decade evokes such contradictory images as the 1970s:
reform and emancipation on the one hand, crisis and malaise on the
other. In The Global 1970s: Radicalism, Reform, and Crisis, Duco
Hellema portrays the 1970s as a period of global transition. Across
the world, the early and mid-1970s were still years of political
mobilization with everything seemingly an object of public
controversy and conflict, including economic development,
education, and family matters. Social movements called for the
reduction of social inequalities, for participation, and the
emancipation of various groups at the same time as the rise of
ambitious and reform-oriented governments. Ten years later, a
different world was emerging with the call for state-controlled
social and economic changes in decline and new economic policies
centred on liberation and deregulation taking their place. This
book examines a range of explanations for this radical
transformation, highlighting how economic problems, such as the oil
crisis, political battles and dramatic confrontations resulted in a
free-market-oriented conservatism by the end of the period. Divided
into nine broadly chronological chapters and taking a global
approach that allows the reader to see the familiar themes of the
decade examined on an international scale, The Global 1970s is
essential reading for all students and scholars of
twentieth-century global history.
