Citizenship has been a relatively under-explored topic within the realm of Conservative Party studies. However, when scholars have delved into this subject, their focus tends to be more on providing broad overviews rather than delving into the specific approaches taken by the Conservative Party concerning citizenship. This book aims to bridge this gap.
Through a comprehensive examination of various sources, the author delves into how the Conservative Party challenged the prevailing welfare model of citizenship and aimed to establish a new framework for the relationship between individuals, the state, and civil society. The journey begins with Margaret Thatcher's concept of "active citizenship" and proceeds to analyze John Major's "Citizens Charter" and David Cameron's "Big Society project." By scrutinizing these developments, the book sheds fresh light on how they responded to long-standing challenges while engaging with specific contexts and the unique ideas of different Conservative leaders.
From an ideological standpoint, the author examines how these leaders echoed and reinterpreted traditional political ideas and ideologies while engaging in negotiations with and adopting new flourishing concepts during the respective periods. It is important to note that citizenship is not a one-dimensional concept; rather, by reinterpreting old ideas and utilizing new ones, these Conservatives crafted a complex and often contradictory citizenship model that sought to address both enduring and timely issues that intersected in British society.
