This book studies neoliberalism's features in the UK and USA in the
1980s in relation to the philosophical, historical, political,
legal, and economic concepts. It analyses the model's legacy in the
"Anglosphere," its acceptance, rejection, proliferation in France
and Europe - the EU often emulating and disseminating neoliberal
processes and techniques via hard and soft law -, its scope, its
spread throughout EU countries characterised by "illiberalism,"
highlighting the model's need to adapt. It fills a
historiographical gap regarding a concept which remains acutely
topical.
50 years after Enoch Powell's self-styled detonation in the form of
his so-called 'Rivers of Blood' speech, this volume brings together
contributions from international scholars in the field of history,
political science and British studies, with new insights from
hitherto unexplored archives. It investigates some of the key
national and grassroots parameters which, from above and from
below, led to Powell's violent irruption into the immigration
debate in 1968. It apprehends Powell as a political and
intellectual figure firmly established in the British Tory
tradition, a tradition which was to shape the 1970s debate on race
and immigration, and be avidly instrumentalised by the British
far-right. It also analyses Powell's positioning vis-a-vis the
Irish question, and apprehends Powell's late-1960s moment from an
international standpoint, as one of the early stages of the
conservative revolution which was to culminate in 2016 with Trump's
election. Lastly, this book weaves a thread between Powell and
another recent political detonation: Brexit.
