Colonial governments, institutions and companies recognised that in
many ways the effective operation of the Empire depended upon
sexual arrangements. For example, nuclear families serving
agricultural colonization, and prostitutes working for single men
who powered armies and plantations, mines and bureaucracies. For
this reason they devised elaborate systems of sexual governance,
such as attending to marriage and the family. However, they also
devoted disproportionate energy to marking and policing the sexual
margins.
In "Sex, Politics and Empire," Richard Phillips investigates
controversies surrounding prostitution, homosexuality and the age
of consent in the British Empire, and revolutionises our notions
about the importance of sex as a nexus of imperial power
relations.
Since the 1970s British politics has undergone something of a
revolution: the collapse of strong class allegiance to parties; the
recovery of an economy once perceived to be in terminal decline;
the near 20-year rule of the Tories; and the extraordinary
emergence and establishment of the Blaire New Labour Party.
Together with these changes we have also seen: the reshaping of the
civil service; the establishment of devolved assemblies; the reform
of the Lords; the decline of ideology; the apparent crushing of the
Conservative Party; and the ubiquity of media management as a tool
of political persuasion. from A/S to undergraduate. It explains,
analyses and interprets the changing mosaic of political life in
Britain since the 1970s. Each chapter has been revised and updated
for this edition and new chapters have been added on devolution and
the judiciary.
A systematic and comprehensive study of the early performance of
New Labour in power. It brings together the results of a
co-ordinated research initiative underway in the Department of
Government at the University of Manchester, charting the developing
relationship between election promise and government policy across
the whole sweep of New Labour's manifesto agenda. Each chapter
examines New Labour's initial comments, charts opening policy
moves, and traces policy trajectories in each major department of
state; so generating a comprehensive audit of New Labour's
electoral fidelity and an academically-informed assessment of New
Labour's likely policy trajectory though its first period of
office. -- .
From the taunting videos of Osama Bin Laden to the partisan
euphoria of the embedded journalist, from the visual rhetoric of
the anti-globalisation movement to the empire of spin to the
scalding polemics of American campaign advertising, propaganda is
back. This book provides a full and detailed analysis of the
phenomenon of propaganda, its meaning, content and urgent
significance. It is one of the most original works ever published
on the subject. While it applies a conceptual approach to the study
of propaganda, the theoretics are grounded in practice. Insightful
case studies on Symbolic Government, negative campaign advertising,
single issue group polemic and corporate propaganda, culminate in a
vivid narrative of the role of propaganda in driving the
remorseless new conflict which began on September 11 2001. Contents
