This study in the "Themes in Right-Wing Politics and Ideology" series examines the roots and developments of Right-wing politics since 1900 in a comparative perspective that stresses how ideological frameworks have been translated into political action. The main argument of the book is that the Right has proved to be far more flexible and dynamic a political force than is usually considered to be the case. Indeed, the ability to change in response to new circumstances has been shown to be a major political strategy of the Right. An historical approach is adopted, using evidence from Britain, Europe and the United States, and particular emphasis is laid on developments since World War II, most notably the crisis in liberal democracy that has seen the emergence of the New Right.
