A Short History of the Liberal Party 1900–1997
Author: Chris Cook
Publisher: Palgrave Macmillan
ISBN: 9780333735169
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 260
Book Description
Ten years have now passed since the birth of the Liberal Democrats in 1988. Under the widely-acclaimed leadership of Paddy Ashdown the party now has over 5,000 councillors and its strongest parliamentary presence since the days of Lloyd George. The changing fortunes of the Liberals, from the landslide victory of 1906 through the divisions and decline of the interwar years to the repeated revivals since Orpington, are the subject of this highly topical and authoritative history. This concise survey examines not only the electoral fortunes of the party (including a detailed analysis of its broad advance in the 1997 election) but also the personalities, policies and prospects of the contemporary party in the changed political landscape of the late 1990s. Although a book designed for students of history and politics, this timely volume will be essential reading for journalists, political commentators and party activists - indeed, for all those interested in the Liberal Democrat performance in the 1997 election and their prospects as the new century approaches.

What Is Classical Liberal History?
Author: Michael J. Douma
Publisher: Lexington Books
ISBN: 1498536115
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 269
Book Description
Historians working in the classical liberal tradition believe that individual decision-making and individual rights matter in the making of history. History written in the classical liberal tradition emerged largely in the nineteenth century, when the field of history was first professionalized in Europe and the Americas. Professional historical research was then imbued with liberal values, which included rigorous attention to the sources, historicist suspicion of an ultimate mover, an honest and dispassionate rational outlook, and humility towards what could be known. Above all, liberals wanted to chart the history of liberty, warn against threats to liberty, and defend it in an evolving political world. They believed history was real, and that it had lessons to teach, but that these lessons could not provide sufficient knowledge to predict the future or reorganize society around a central plan. This book demonstrates how the classical liberal tradition in historical writing persists to this day, but how it is often neglected and due for renewal. The book contrasts the classical liberal view on history with conservative, progressive, Marxist, and post-modern views. Each of the eleven chapters address a different historical topic, from the development of classical liberalism in nineteenth century America to the the history of civil liberties and civil rights that stemmed from this tradition. Authors give particular attention to the importance of social and economic analysis. Each contributor was chosen as an expert in their field to provide a historiographical overview of their subject, and to explain what the classical liberal contribution to this historiography has been and should be. Authors then provide guidance towards possible tools of analysis and related research topics that future historians working in the classical liberal tradition could take up. The authors wish to call upon other historians to recognize the important contributions to historical understanding that have come and can be provided by the insights of classical liberalism.
