IT ^ i. j .iM - 4 K Party Ideology in Britain The experience of the Thatcher years has highlighted the crucial role of ideology in the British political process. This wide-ranging introduc¬ tion therefore presents an approach to the study of British politics which is distinctive in its focus on political ideas, rather than on the more familiar organizational basis of party politics. It sets out to explore what the major political traditions in Britain stand for, both in terms of general ideas and in relation to key policy areas. The contributors examine the nature of political ideology in Britain in the period since 1945, as revealed by the party system, and discuss the way in which general ideological positions have been related to policy and practice. Each of the major national party traditions is examined, showing how contemporary party thinkers have sought to apply and adapt the historic principles of their parties in the face of social change, economic problems and international developments. By putting ideology into its partisan forms, this book throws new light on the parties, their conflicts and their ideas, and provides an excellent introductory account of the politics of ideas in modem Britain. The Editors Leonard Tivey is Head of the Department of Political Science and Inter¬ national Studies at the University of Birmingham, where Anthony Wright is Senior Lecturer in Politics at the School of Continuing Studies. ^ ; ir ♦. 1 »* ' . t j r. p/.tejhf . * nieihfi £fj f*' '■VI?
