  • Training Minds for the War of Ideas: Ashridge College, the Conservative Party and the Cultural Politics of Britain, 1929–54, by Clarisse Berthezène

    Jose HarrisARTICLEThe English Historical Review2017

    Historians have long been investigating the impact of social, political, economic and even ‘philosophical’ ideas on the making of public policy in nineteenth- and twentieth-century Britain and elsewhere. Much of this work has been focused on ‘progressive’ thought, with, until recently, very few serious attempts being made to look more closely at the intellectual roots of ‘conservative’ policies and programmes, except where the latter could be see…

  • The Liberal Party and the Economy, 1929–1964, by Peter Sloman

    Open AccessJose HarrisARTICLEThe English Historical Review2016

    From the passing of the Great Reform Act of 1832 down to the middle years of the First World War, Liberal intellectuals, administrators and political economists had dominated all aspects of economic and social thought in Britain, to an extent that had largely outstripped their Conservative rivals (even during periods when strong Conservative governments had been in power). Thus, innovative Conservative prime ministers such as Peel and Disraeli ha…

    Dans son article Jose Harris propose de réinterpréter la pensée libérale edwardienne en liant politique impériale, libre-échange et réformes sociales. Après 1906, les Nouveaux Libéraux, jusqu’alors plutôt critiques, se rallient à la défense de l’Empire, indispensable outil des réformes sociales sans précédent qu’ils mettent en œuvre. Doit-on parler d’impérialisme social ? Y a-t-il eu circulations de modèles entre les colonies de peuplement, vérit…

  • Development of Civil Society

    Jose HarrisCHAPTERThe Oxford Handbook of Political…2009

    This article studies the development of civil society, starting from the end of the Roman Republic until modern times. It identifies four traditions of writing about civil society. This article determines that civil society remains to be a curiously obtuse, malleable, and much contested idea that is difficult to define categorically, by reference to either what it is or what it is not. It also shows that due to the gradual build-up of diverse mea…

    Open AccessFerdinand Tönnies, Jose Harris et al.BOOKTönnies2001

    Ferdinand Tönnies' Gemeinschaft und Gesellschaft (first published in 1887) is a classic of social and political theory, which explores the clash between small-scale neighbourhood-based 'communities' and large-scale competitive market 'societies'. Tönnies considers all aspects of life - political, economic, legal and family; art, religion and culture; the construction of 'selfhood' and 'personhood'; and modes of cognition, language and understandi…

  • William Beveridge: A Biography

    Jose HarrisBOOKWilliam Beveridge1997

    The Beveridge Plan of 1942 is regarded as the seminal document of the modern welfare state. Yet, if Beveridge was the 'father of the welfare state', he was also one of its earliest and most severe critics, as Harris reveals.

  • Citizenship and Community: Liberals, Radicals and Collective Identities in the British Isles, 1865–1931

    Open AccessMartin Pugh, Pat Thane et al.BOOKCitizenship and Community1996

    In 1883 the radical journalist W. E. Adams described community self-government as 'the essence of all political liberalism that is worthy of the name'. This collaborative volume of essays enlarges upon Adams' thesis, applying it to the study of various 'currents of radicalism' in Britain and Ireland, and ranging from Victorian advanced liberals to Irish and Welsh socialists in the 1920s. Citizenship and Community explores the links between libera…

    En Grande-Bretagne, des débats récurrents opposant la notion de «contrat» et de «citoyenneté» comme origine des droits à percevoir des soutiens publics - depuis la Loi sur les assurances chômage (Unemployment Insurance Act) de 1934 jusqu'en 1948 - débouche sur un paradoxe apparent puisque les régimes fondés sur la notion limitée de « contrat » ont souvent été perçus comme plus «universels» que les régimes fondés sur la notion plus large de «citoy…

    This chapter examines changes in the teaching and research in the arts and social sciences at Oxford during the period from 1939 to 1970. On the eve of World War 2, academic life in Oxford was dominated a cluster of over-arching and interlocking themes that included the pre-eminence of the humanities, the power of the colleges, and the priority given to the teaching of undergraduates. During and after the war, major changes occurred in the struct…

    Open AccessJose HarrisARTICLEContemporary European History1992Cited by: 11References: 7

    This article reviews interpretations of the history of British society during the Second World War. Traditionally the Second World War has been viewed as a period of outstanding national unity and social solidarity, and the social arrangements of wartime have been seen as a unique catalyst of administrative ‘collectivism’ and the growth of the ‘welfare state’. More recent historiography has presented a more diffuse picture, emphasising the elemen…

    DO ‘welfare states’ enhance or subvert economic enterprise, civic virtue, private moral character, the integrity of social life? Though these questions have a piquantly contemporary ring in modern British politics, they are nevertheless old quandaries in the history of social policy. Since the seventeenth century, if not earlier, practitioners, theorists and critics of public welfare schemes have argued for and against such schemes in contradicto…
