David Cameron and Conservative Renewal : The Limits of Modernisation? Hardback
Edited by Gillian Peele, John Francis
Part of the New Perspectives on the Right series
Hardback
Description
This book explores the process of rebuilding the Conservative Party under David Cameron's leadership since 2005.
It traces the different elements of the renewal strategy - ideological reconstruction policy reappraisal and enhanced electoral appeal - and identifies constraints from different sections of the Party, including the parliamentary party and the grassroots membership.
It also explores the extent to which long-standing intra-party divisions exacerbated difficulties for the exercise of leadership.
The process of renewal has been through a number of stages and its progress has been indirect rather than linear.
Although the project has been relatively successful in some respects the extent to which it has created a new Conservative Party remains contested.
This book provides essential background and analysis, and will be of interest to students and scholars of British politics and government. -- .
