States and Markets
David Marquand was professor of politics at Sheffield from 1991–1996. He contributed greatly to the department's growth and reputation, particularly through his successful directorship of the Political Economy Research Centre (PERC) which was established in 1993. David became interested in political economy because he wanted to understand what had made the golden age of the Keynesian welfare state possible, why it had collapsed and whether a new …
The Future of Conservatism
The Case for Conservatism is the first report of the Onward think tank's Commission on The Future of Conservatism. It examines present discontents and offers a set of principles for addressing them. It argues that Conservatives need to shift their ideological position away from the economic liberalism of Margaret Thatcher and the social liberalism of David Cameron and adopt a position which is socially conservative and economically interventionis…

Brexit and UK policy-making
The Westminster Model (WM) remains dominant in UK post-Brexit policy-making, with few signs that the UK Government is willing to cede power to the devolved administrations and external interests. Despite the plebiscitary vote for Brexit in the 2016 Referendum, the implementation of that change has been dependent on the vagaries of the WM, and a succession of internal crises within the governing Conservative Party. The case studies in the special …

The Remaking of Conservatism
Why has the Conservative Party been such a successful political party? One of the reasons lies in the ability of its leaders to understand and navigate the pressure of the politics of power and the politics of support, adjusting to changing circumstances and being focussed on what is needed in order to gain and hold power in the particular circumstances of the British political system. Since the publication of The Conservative Nation in 1974 the …
The Brexit Negotiations and the Anglosphere
The Brexit negotiations raise the question of what Britain’s future role in the world should be. Brexiters have drawn on ideas of the Anglosphere to imagine what that future might be. The Anglosphere belongs in a long line of thinking about uniting English speaking communities around the world. Different conceptions of the Anglosphere such as CANZUK are identified. The Anglosphere appeals to many Brexiters because it gives them a positive vision …
Michael Moran, 1946–2018
Michael Moran's intellectual journey is a remarkable one. Starting from quite a narrow focus on industrial relations in the 1970s, he switched his main research interest to the politics of banking and to changes in financial regulation during the 1980s. In the 1990s he extended this interest in regulation to write about the emergence of the British regulatory state, which culminated in his major publication, The British Regulatory State: High Mod…
Making Sense of Populist Nationalism
One of the blind spots of political economy in its response to the financial crisis and its aftermath is the tendency to attribute contingency and rationality to long-run economic developments, but to attribute contingency and irrationality to political trends and developments. This reflects the continuing legacy of economism in the political economy tradition. Critical political economists anticipated the financial crisis but not the political r…
Michael Dietrich (1953-2019)

The Realignment of British Politics in the Wake of Brexit
THE referendum vote to leave the European Union on 23 June 2016 has created a deep political and constitutional crisis. The terms on which Britain would leave or whether it would leave at all were still unclear two years after the referendum vote. The only certainty is that the process of determining a new relationship between Britain and the EU will stretch long beyond the date, 29 March 2019, on which Britain is set formally to leave the EU. As…

Why is Neo-liberalism so Resilient
Neo-liberalism rose to prominence during the stagflation crisis of the 1970s and consolidated its position as the dominant western ideology after the collapse of communism in Europe in the 1990s. Neo-liberalism is not a monolithic doctrine but has several different strands, including Ordoliberalism and Anglo-American economic liberalism. The latter became closely associated with globalisation, financialisation and deregulation, which helped produ…
A Hundred Years of British Democracy
Introduction
Taking back control
The consequences of the BREXIT vote in June 2016 will take many years to be fully understood. The focus of the debate has shifted from whether there should be a BREXIT at all to what kind of BREXIT the UK should now seek to achieve. The result of the referendum and the Brexit election of 2017 has already had a profound effect on all the UK's main political parties, and has raised difficult questions about Britain's role in the world, its governan…
Conservatism
Conservatism has been one of the principal ideologies of the modern era. It was first articulated in its contemporary form in opposition to liberalism and specifically to the cataclysm of the French Revolution, which challenged the principles and values of the old order, and the authority of monarchs and priests. The deep‐seated crisis of the European ancien régime , and the sudden appearance of revolutionaries prepared to act out utopian fantasi…
Governing in the New Hard Times
After the financial crash of 2008 and the recession of 2009 the western capitalist democracies entered a new era of hard times, marked by a very weak recovery, austerity, powerful deflationary pressures, and the persistence of emergency measures such as record low interest rates and quantitative easing. National-populist parties began to attract increasing support for an anti-globalisation, anti-immigration, and anti-elite platform. The western p…
Liberalism
Liberalism is the leading ideology of the modern era. During the nineteenth century it became associated with the principles of individualism, liberty, limited government, progress, and equality. At its core is a conception of society and human nature based on beliefs in the moral primacy of the individual; the equal moral worth of every individual regardless of class, nation, gender, or race; and the possibility of improving social conditions an…

Conservative Splits and European Integration
Sovereign Nations and Global Markets
In this article we seek to trace through the major stands of British Euroscepticism and concentrate, in particular, on the importance of a powerful ‘hyperglobalist’ Eurosceptical strand within British Conservatism. We investigate the British Conservatives' recent divisions over European integration, against the background of the party's increasingly marginal status in British party politics. The piece also draws on findings from two recent survey…
The New Political Economy
Political economy has been an extremely diverse field of study, embracing a large number of different approaches and methodologies. The fading of old ideological and methodological disputes and the development of new intellectual agendas in response to far-reaching changes in the economic and political structures of the world system have created the possibility of a new political economy which promises a reconstruction of the field and the overco…
The Constitutional Revolution in the United Kingdom
The changes to the territorial constitution in the United Kingdom since 1997 have been extensive, but there is no agreement on their long-run significance, opinion being divided as to whether the changes are substantive or cosmetic and whether they represent the conclusion of a process or the start of a new one. This article connects these arguments with historical debates on the nature of the British state and its distinctive constitution and mu…
Conceptualising Europeanisation
This article subjects the existing literature on the concept of Europeanisation to critical scrutiny. It begins by providing a general discussion of the methodology of concept formation. It then goes on to assess five current usages of the tern Europeanisation, before providing an alternative definition. The main argument pursued here is that academics have been too quick to conceptualise Europeanisation as a process which is capable of producing…

The British Labour Party and monetary union
The real test of the British Labour Party's new orientation to Europe will be its policy on economic and monetary union (EMU). This article analyses Labours political economy in relation to European integration and to the management of the currency, and how the intersection of these two have produced four distinctive approaches to EMU within the party. It assesses the stance of new Labour towards EMU in the context of this internal Labour Party d…

Privatization, Thatcherism, and the British State
The Conservative victory in the 1979 General Election brought into office a government that was determined to end British decline and the crisis of state authority by making an ideological and political break with social democracy. This project has taken its name from the Conservative Prime Minister, Margaret Thatcher. But 'Thatcherism' has always been a highly controversial term. Opinion is divided as to whether the election of the Thatcher Gove…
The Conservatives and the Union
The Union has for over a century been one of the cornerstones of Conservative politics, but with the changes to the old union state in the last 20 years, its value has been increasingly questioned. While the Conservative Party remains committed to maintaining the Union, a new English Toryism is emerging, which has a strong continuity with an older English Toryism which was partially buried by the ascendancy of Unionism. English Tories have always…

The Political Consequences of the Crash
The financial crash of 2008 precipitated a major recession. It shattered the financial growth model that had dominated the previous twenty years and plunged the international economy into a period of economic and political restructuring of uncertain duration. The immediate origins of the crash lay in the lending practices associated with the sub-prime mortgages in the United States which produced the credit crunch in 2007, but the wider causes we…

Better Off Out? Britain and Europe
The largest ever rebellion of Conservative MPs on Europe took place in October 2011 with 81 Conservative MPs defying the Conservative whip to vote for a referendum on Britain's continued membership of the European Union. This resurgence of dissent over Europe has been fuelled by the crisis in the eurozone. The Conservative party is now an overwhelmingly Eurosceptic party, but Conservative Eurosceptics are divided over whether the Government shoul…
