内容説明

General elections shape British politics. The 1997 election transformed the British political landscape and broke all records. After 18 years in opposition, Labour returned to government with 419 MPs and a majority of 179 seats. The scale of Labour's victory, and the Conservative's defeat, was the result of the biggest shift in the support from one party to another this century; to describe this as a landslide may not sufficiently covey the sheer magnitude of the events. This volume brings together leading academics to analyze the results and assess the key issues including the Conservative party and sleaze, Europe, the economy, Northern Ireland and constitutional reform.

内容説明

This book offers the first transnational history of white nationalism in Britain, the US and the formerly British colonies of Rhodesia, South Africa and Australia from the post-World War II period to the present. It situates contemporary white nationalism in the 'Anglosphere' within the context of major global events since 1945. White nationalism, it argues, became more global in reaction to the forces of decolonisation, civil rights, mass migration and the rise of international institutions. In this period, assumptions of white supremacy that had been widely held by whites throughout the world were challenged and reformulated, as western elites professed a commitment to colour-blind ideals. The decline in legitimacy of overtly racist political expression produced international alliances among white supremacists and new claims of populist legitimation. -- .
