British Politics Review 2/12 on
the Major years

This May, twenty years have passed since John Major secured a Conservative victory in the first post-Thatcher elections in Britain. The challenges awaiting Major following the election victory were considerable: Domestically, his essential task was one of implementing ”Thatcherism with a human face” while regaining strength in the British economy. Internationally, the major undertaking was no less than the re-formulation of Britain’s foreign policy for the post-Cold War era.

In issue 2/2012 of British Politics Review, we have invited contributors to reflect upon the Major years in British politics. The topic of our articles range from observations on his leadership style, via internal party dissent and economic policy to Major’s difficult relationship with the press.

Read articles by Bruce Pilbeam, Kevin Theakston, Jan Erik Mustad, Ragnhild V. Nessheim, Philip Cowley, Steven Kettel, Kristin M. Haugevik & Øivind Bratberg.
