Using social exchange theory to examine residents’ responses to heritage tourism
There have been numerous studies of the impact of tourism on local communities. This qualitative study uses social exchange theory to examine tourism’s effects on local communities in Samarqand and Bukhara. These are World Heritage Sites (WHS) along the ancient Silk Road that have been strongly affected by the recent growth of tourism in Uzbekistan. Our findings highlight the significant role played by perceptions of an aspect of intangible cultu…
Statues, Spatial Syntax and Surrealism
The purpose of statues in public spaces has recently become a matter of controversy. Using a 1937 quotation from the artist Paul Nash and the surrealist leader André Breton, this paper explores the circumstances in which a statue is read as appropriately – ‘in its right mind’ in their terms – situated in public space. In doing so, it draws primarily on examples from Britain, Europe and North America during the rapid expansion in the number of sta…
God and Progress
This volume by Joshua Bennett explores the intellectual ferment stirring the British churches in the late nineteenth century from an unfamiliar angle. In essence it claims that: History became inherent to how Victorians perceived, criticized, and tried to change lived experience. Historical interpretation ... became intrinsic to liberal and, increasingly, conservative attempts both to vindicate Christian truth, and to rearticulate it (p. 244). Th…
Religion and the rise of mass democracy in Britain
Modernity and the rise of mass democracy are intertwined. This contribution to this special issue on Christian modernities therefore focuses on how the churches responded to this key aspect of modernity. This paper addresses this through exploring the framing of ideas about democracy expressed by leading figures in the British churches, particularly Nonconformity, in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. In the process claims about the re…
Language, religion and ethno-national identity
The influence of religion and language on ethno-national identity is well-established. This article explores these concepts as mutually reinforcing aspects of cultural identity and examines their relationship to the formation of world views and causal interpretations shaping often incompatible ethno-national identities and hence conflicts. Especially we focus on the role of oral cultures as primary communication forms as against print-based ones,…
The Plural Society
The Labour Party founded in 1900 necessarily confronted the imperial nature of the British state, the empire as an economic and military entity, and the inequalities it contained. Yet Labour initially thought on the subject primarily in terms of the liberal objective of the advancement of self-government. It was only in the 1930s, in the writings of Lansbury and Attlee, that more systematic thinking about the empire in terms of global divisions o…
Changing Attitudes to the Past
What societies choose to remember about the Past can pose challenges for professional gatekeepers in museums, archives and statutory bodies charged with managing national heritage. Recent examples examined in this article include the inauguration of the National Museum of African American History and Culture in Washington, the 2016 Capability Brown Festival, changing attitudes towards poppies and the Rhodes Must Fall movement. These are explored …
Labour and the Free Churches 1918-1939 ; radicalism, righteousness and religion
It is a commonplace that the labour movement was somehow nurtured within the witness for liberty of the Free Churches. Exploring this at a range of levels - including organisation, rhetoric, policies, electoral politics and people - this book demonstrates the extent to which this remained a reality into the inter-war years. The distinctive religious setting in which it emerged indeed helps to explain the differences between Labour and more Marxis…
Men, Masculinities and Religious Change in Twentieth-Century Britain
What does it mean to be a man? There are certain stereotypical roles and attributes human societies foist upon both men and women. These stereotypes are used as shorthand to provide recognisable tr

Governing Post-War Britain
As the lustre faded both from wartime victory and post-war welfare state, British policymakers faced a number of challenges that have, in the past, been too often simplistically described as the management of relative decline. The latter is not only unhelpfully deterministic, it also—as O’Hara points out here (p. 90)—‘overlooks the way policy choices and preferences are actually constructed’ (p. 90). That is not to deny the strong sense amongst b…
At the End of the Day
Pre-publicity for the final volume of Harold Macmillan's memoirs, At the End of the Day, stressed that it would provide the British side of the Cuban missile crisis for the first time. The Churchillian model chosen, changes required by the Cabinet Office and Macmillan's desire to rebuke those political opponents who claimed that the crisis demonstrated a lack of British influence in Washington, however ensured a focus on his personal relationship…
Democracy, cosmopolitanism and national identity in a ‘globalising’ world
Broadly globalising processes have been in train for centuries, but contemporary discourse about globalisation is here located within a specific historical context, particularly characterised by new forms of communications and the pressures on states produced by the decline of Keynesianism and the end of the Cold War. Coincident changes also led to a growing interest in national identities, marked not least by the founding of this journal in 1999…
Introduction to Special Issue
Reassessing Suez 1956
Fifty years on, the Anglo-French diplomatic and military reactions in 1956 to the Egyptian nationalisation of the Suez Canal remain the subject of fresh research and debate. This collection, however, is not simply a summary of various recent perspectives. Nor do the events of late 1956 always take centre stage. The attempted military re-occupation of the Canal Zone and accompanying Israeli collusion have led to this Crisis bulking particularly la…

The British Electoral System, 1885-1970
At a time when the electoral system is coming under renewed scrutiny, this article examines the origins and creation of the present system in 1884-5, and its subsequent survival. This is the first such analysis to draw upon Public Record Office and party archives. Whilst showing that the political classes have been quite prepared to consider the merits of alternatives, particularly S.T.V., for Ireland or in colonial settings, they have usually be…
Management and engineering education in the 1950s and 1960s
The career destiny of many graduate engineers is in industry. Quite how well prepared they were for that career became a matter of political importance in the late 1950s and early 1960s as the issue of Britain's relatively poor economic performance grew in salience. This article looks at this preparation with particular reference to management training. It examines the attitudes of those parties most interested in engineering education ‐ the gove…

Morality and Politics
The inter-war period saw the decline of the Liberal party, the traditional political ally of the free churches, and the rise of the Labour party. This article traces the responses of the free churches to these developments. The relationship of the free churches with the Labour party in this period is examined at three different levels; that of the free church leadership, that of the chapels and the ordinary people in the pews and that of the nonc…

Managing the Core Executive
In the build up to general elections there is invariably a wealth of discourse on constitutional and transitional issues and even on the efficiency and cost‐effectiveness of the civil service, but rarely is there any debate on the manner in which politicians manage the government machine. This article seeks to address this deficiency. It examines the operational factors common to the core executive, assesses the problems usually associated with t…

Handling the transfer of power
Opposition is rarely a good preparation for government. The only post‐war government to enter office confident, well‐acquainted with the Civil Service and with a fund of administrative experience to draw on was the Attlee administration formed in 1945. The longer a party spends in opposition the more these assets disappear. Labour, by the end of the long period of Conservative rule in 1951–64, was largely unfamiliar with the burdens of office. Th…

Departmental select committees
The idea of departmental select committees in the House of Commons was floated as long ago as the Haldane Report in 1918 and periodically mooted by figures from both left and right as varied as Amery and Laski in the inter‐war years. It was raised again during the wartime investigations of the Machinery of Government committee, only to be shot down by the then Cabinet Secretary, Sir Edward Bridges, on the grounds that it would constrain the frank…

Understanding Post-War British Society
Introduction
In 1991 Peter Brooke, then Secretary of State for Northern Ireland, talked of trying to establish a three-stranded negotiation process on the future of Northern Ireland: between unionists and nationalists within Northern Ireland, between North and South on the island of Ireland and between the British and Irish Governments. This formulation reflected some of the many dimensions there are to the Northern Ireland question. There was, however, anoth…
Reassessing the impact of yesterday's men
This special seminar to explore the controversy surrounding the Yesterday's Men programme of 1971, and its subsequent significance in the history of British political documentaries, was held at the Institute of Historical Research, London, on 26 January 1994. The seminar opened with a re‐screening of the programme, which featured interviews with Harold Wilson, the then leader of the opposition to Edward Heath's new Conservative government, front …
