Beskrivning
This book examines the emergence and the political use of what has come to be known as “culture wars” in the United Kingdom.Adopting multidisciplinary perspectives, it investigates the ways in which cultural identities are used for political ends. The book bridges the conceptual and theoretical gap in fully understanding the so-called culture wars in a British context; as such, it envisages debates as part of a larger political project to gain popular support by tapping into voters’ sense of neglect by the political elite. Applying the concept of “national populism” as a binding conceptual framework for the book, a prestigious panel of international experts offer thorough analyses to show that not enough attention is being paid to what may be considered as an “escalation” of culture wars, and to how divisions have been accentuated by political elites to deliberately exacerbate them.This book will be of key interest to scholars, students and readers in British politics, populism studies, party politics, Conservative party politics and more broadly to European and Comparative politics.

Recensioner i media

“This is an engaging and timely book on the much talked about ‘culture wars’ in the UK. It offers a striking assessment of the many fronts opened by populists in their efforts to take over the Conservative party. A must read for anyone eager to make sense of the new and consequential ‘phoney war’”.Florence Faucher, Director of the CEE, Sciences Po, Paris, France“A timely and thought-provoking book which explores the multiple dimensions of an agenda which now seems set to play an increasingly divisive and transformative role in political debate in the United Kingdom. The contributors are alert both to the political motivations driving contemporary culture wars and to their comparative context. A wide-ranging and sophisticated collection which deserves an extensive readership”.Gillian Peele, University of Oxford, UK
