The Politics of Nationhood: Sovereignty, Britishness, and Conservative Politics

Trama

The politics of nationhood has been central to British Conservative politics for over a century, the Conservative Party being identified as a patriotic party defending the nation state and British identity. But withdrawal from Empire, EC membership, sub-state nationalisms and multi-culturalism forced a reworking of Conservative politics.
