Twentieth-Century Britain, Backlash: Neo-liberalism & the Rise of the New Right
-
-
Political context
Post-war settlement: A 'consensual style of government, 'consensus' politics; 'non-ideological'?
-
-
Social Context
Post-war settlement: Culture of 'affluence' / Family and home-centred (although we've seen tensions within this re. gender, youth, race etc)
Fears of social disorder and moral decline / labour unrest/ violence in NI / immigration / moral panics about criminality e.g. radicalised 'mugging' panic
-
Loss of faith in liberal ideals & post-war settlement / concern about 'the youth' / the perceived nihilism of punk culture from 1976 epitomised for some people what was wrong with Britain
Economic Context
-
-
Public sector workers on strike 1979, overflow of rubbish on streets as no bin-men
-
economic recession and social discord of the 1970s washed by many on the right as a sign of national decline, but in fact was a moment of GLOBAL economic crisis
