Michael Oakshott described conservatism as a non-ideological
preference for the familiar, tried, actual, limited, near,
sufficient, convenient and present. Historically, conservatives
have been associated with attempts to sustain social harmony
between classes and groups within an organic, hierarchical order
grounded in collective history and cultural values. Yet, in recent
decades, conservatism throughout the English-speaking world has
been associated with radical social and economic policy, often
championing free-market models which substitute the free movement
of labour and forms of competition and social mobility for organic
hierarchy and noblesse oblige. The radical changes associated with
such policies call into question the extent to which contemporary
conservatism is conservative, rather than ideological. This book
seeks to explore contemporary conservative political thought with
regard to such topics as, 'One Nation' politics and Big Society,
sovereignty, multiculturalism and international blocs, paternalism
and negative liberty with regard to narcotics, pornography and
education, regional and international development, and public
faith, establishment and religious diversity. This book will be
published as a special issue of Global Discourse.
