Britain today is falling apart. One of the most dominant states in
world history finds itself confronted with growing demands for
nationalist secessionism. Brexit has already secured its break from
the European Union while looming Scottish independence promises to
undermine the integrity of the British state. Meanwhile, class,
gender, regional and generational inequalities are deepening while
endemic racism has been re-invigorated. How has it come to this?
Britain in fragments traces how the historic pillars sustaining the
democratic settlement have begun to crumble. This stability was
constructed amid a century of imperial expansion abroad and
working-class struggles for justice at home. The post-war welfare
state was the apex of this historic arrangement; however, the
ground beneath it began to shake as the processes of decolonisation
and neoliberalism unfolded. This book traces how successive Labour
and Conservative governments have incrementally dismantled the
democratic settlement. A bipartisan commitment to neoliberalism has
culminated in a historic crisis of representation and legitimacy,
opening the door to competing nationalist forces. -- .
