The War for Legitimacy in Politics and Culture 1936-1946 presents
the first investigation of how the phenomenon of political
legitimacy operated within Europe's political cultures during the
period of the Second World War. Amidst the upheavals of that
turbulent period in Europe's twentieth-century history, a wide
variety of contenders for power emerged, each of which claimed to
possess the right to rule.Exploring political discourse, state
propaganda, and high and low culture, the book argues that
legitimacy lay not with rulers, and still less in the barrel of a
gun, but in the values behind differing approaches to "good"
government. An important contribution to the study of the political
culture of wartime Europe, this volume will be essential reading
for both political scientists and twentieth-century historians.
From the Fascist regimes of inter-war Europe to the Christian Democracies of the post-war era, Catholicism has been a major political force in twentieth-century Europe. In this pioneering and innovative volume, a team of expert historians provide the first authoritative study of this neglected subject. Tackling each major European country in turn, they provide an unusual viewpoint on the political and social development of Europe during this century.
The shock of Donald Trump’s election caused many observers to ask
whether the liberal international order—the system of
institutions and norms established after World War II—was coming
to an end. The victory of Joe Biden, a committed institutionalist,
suggested that the liberal order would endure. Even so, important
questions remained: Was Trump an aberration? Is Biden struggling in
vain against irreparable changes in international politics? What
does the future hold for the international order? The essays in
Chaos Reconsidered answer those questions. Leading scholars assess
the domestic and global effects of the Trump and Biden
presidencies. The historians put the Trump years and Biden’s
victory in historical context. Regional specialists evaluate U.S.
diplomacy in Asia, Europe, Africa, the Middle East, and Latin
America. Others foreground topics such as global right-wing
populism, the COVID-19 pandemic, racial inequality, and
environmental degradation. International relations theorists
reconsider the nature of international politics, pointing to
deficiencies in traditional IR methods for explaining world events
and Trump’s presidency in particular. Together, these experts
provide a comprehensive analysis of the state of U.S. alliances and
partnerships, the durability of the liberal international order,
the standing and reputation of the United States as a global
leader, the implications of China’s assertiveness and Russia’s
aggression, and the prospects for the Biden administration and its
successors.
During World War II, London was transformed into a European city,
as it unexpectedly became a place of refuge for many thousands of
European citizens who through choice or the accidents of war found
themselves seeking refuge in Britain from the military campaigns on
the Continent of Europe. In this volume, an international team of
historians consider the exile groups from Belgium, France, the
Netherlands, Poland, Norway and Czechoslovakia, analysing not
merely the relations between the plethora of exile regimes and the
British government in terms of its military and social dimensions
but also the legacy of this period of exile for the politics of
post-war Europe. Particular attention is paid to the Belgian
exiles, the most numerous exile population in Britain during World
War II.
The history of Catholic political movements has long been a missing
dimension of the history of Europe during the twentieth century.
Martin Conway explores the fascinating history of Catholic
political movements in Europe between 1918 and 1945, demonstrating
the crucial role which Catholics played in the rise of fascism in
Italy and Germany, the events of the Spanish Civil War and of the
Second World War. Drawing on the findings of recent research,
Conway shows how Catholic political movements formed a vital
element of the political life of Europe during the inter-war years.
In countries as diverse as France, Germany, Italy, Spain and
Austria, as well as further east in Poland, Slovakia, Croatia, and
Lithuania, Catholic political parties flourished. Inspired by the
values of Catholicism, these movements fought for their own
political ideals; hostile to both liberal democracy and
totalitarian fascism, Catholics were a 'third force' in European
politics. During the Second World War, Catholic political movements
continued to pursue their own goals; some chose to fight alongside
the German armies, other groups joined Resistance movements to
fight against German oppression and for a new social and political
order based on Catholic principles. Catholic Politics in Europe
will provide an original key point of reference for twentieth
century history, for comparison with fascist and communist
movements of the period, and will give insight into the present-day
character of Catholicism.
