| Summary: | "The British Conservative Party and One Nation Politics is the first in depth study of the centrality of the One Nation myth to a fundamental understanding of the Conservative Party. Utilizing primary research and archival sources, Seawright effectively exposes some of the caricatured accounts of the British Conservative Party and demonstrates just how distorted and pervasive such accounts have become. Conversely, through his theoretical insights and empirical focus we see that the Conservative Party's 'real secret weapon' is found in the process of how it transforms and renews itself. Political parties are forever In need of refreshment at the springs of doctrine and in this study the success of the Conservative Party is clear when its competing doctrinal debates are 'refreshed' within an ethos of One Nation. In short, this book will prove to be a most valuable exposition of the British Conservative Party; both for the expert commentator and student of British politics alike." --Book Jacket. |
