***Winner of the Political Studies Association Conservatism Studies
Group prize 2020*** This book provides a detailed analysis of the
evolution of the Conservative Right in Great Britain since 1945. It
first explores the movement’s core ideas and highlights points of
tension between its different strands. The book then proceeds with a
thematically structured discussion. The Conservative Right’s views
on the decline and fall of the British Empire, immigration control,
European integration, the British constitution, the territorial
integrity of the United Kingdom, Britain’s economy, the welfare
state, and social morality and social change are all explored. In the
concluding chapter, the author evaluates the extent to which the
Conservative Right has succeeded in its core objectives since 1945 and
addresses how it can best respond to a contemporary Britain in which
it instinctively feels uncomfortable. The book is based on extensive
elite interviews and archival research and will be of interest to
anyone who seeks to place the contemporary Conservative Right in a
greater historical context.
