Abstract

'Ik heb Thatcher al eens meegemaakt' Alstublieft geen tweede keer!? Het is 25 november 2014, de algemene staking tegen de regering-Michel legt Antwerpen plat, en Nigel Williams pepert het iedereen eens goed in. Zijn uitspraak zorgt voor ophef. In dit boek en deze film steekt de Antwerps-Britse stand-upcomedian opnieuw het Kanaal over. Naar zijn geboortestad Bristol, waar de arbeiderswijken in broeihaarden van geweld en miserie veranderden. Naar schrijver Owen Jones, die furore maakt met zijn boeken over de demonisering van de Britse arbeidersklasse en de macht van de elite, en naar diens collega Joris Luyendijk die de bankwereld genadeloos fileert. Maar ook naar de jaren dat de Iron Lady de Britse vakbonden brak en het gezamenlijk opkomen tegen uitbuiting verving door de ideologie van de ongebreidelde hebzucht, het ieder voor zich en het eigen-schuld-dikke-bult. Aan de hand van gesprekken met onder andere Tom Lanoye, Slongs Dievanongs en Rachida Aziz koppelt Williams voortdurend terug naar België. Hoezo, There Is No Alternative? Een rake schop tegen de glibberige schenen van Het Systeem, ja!Bron: https://www.epo.be/nl/politiek-economie/2568-FUCK-TINA-9789462670723.html

Abstract

Margaret Thatcher and the Middle East examines Thatcher's policy on the Middle East, with a spotlight on her approach towards the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. It questions claims that she sought to counter the Foreign Office Middle East policy, and maintains that the prime minister was actually in close agreement with the Whitehall bureaucracy on the Arab-Israeli conflict. In particular, the volume argues that Thatcher's concerns over Soviet ambitions in the Middle East encouraged her to oppose the policies of Israel's Likud governments, and to work actively for an urgent resolution of the conflict. Furthermore, while Thatcher was strongly pro-American, this was not translated into automatic support for Israel. Indeed, the Thatcher government was very much at odds with the Reagan administration over the Middle East, as a result of Washington's neglect of the forces of moderation in the region.

Abstract

In The Thatcherite Offensive , Alexander Gallas provides a class-centred political analysis of Thatcherism. Drawing upon Greek state theorist Nicos Poulantzas, he challenges both mainstream and critical accounts of British politics in the 1980s and 90s. He shows that Thatcherism’s sucess and novelty, indeed its unity as a political project, lay in the fact that the Thatcher governments profoundly shifted class relations in Britain in favour of capital and restructured the institutions underpinning class domination. According to Gallas, it was an integral part of the Thatcherite project to directly intervene in labour relations, to deprive workers of their ability to forge coalitions, and to smash militant trade unionism.

Abstract

This book examines the political oratory, rhetoric and persona of Margaret Thatcher as a means of understanding her justifications for ‘Thatcherism’. The main arenas for consideration are set piece speeches to conference, media engagements, and Parliamentary orations. Thatcher’s rhetorical style is analysed through the lens of the Aristotelian modes of persuasion (ethos, pathos, logos). Furthermore, the classical methods of oratorical engagement (deliberative, epidictic, judicial) are employed to consider her style of delivery. The authors place her styles of communication into their respective political contexts over a series of noteworthy issues, such as industrial relations, foreign policy, economic reform, and party management. By doing so, this distinctive book shines new light on Thatcher and her political career.

Abstract

The city of Liverpool had frequently been prone to industrial unrest for most of its recent history, but it was the dawn of Thatcher and the sanctioning of neoliberal economic strategies which made Liverpool a nucleus of resistance against the encroaching tide of right-wing politics and sweeping de-industrialisation. This critique explores six case studies which will illustrate how elements of a highly politicised local working-class fought against the rapid rise in forced redundancies and industrial closures.
