  • Mrs. Thatcher's Return to Victorian Values
    proceedings of the British Academy, 78, 9-29 Mrs. Thatcher’s Return to Victorian Values RAPHAEL SAMUEL University of Oxford I ‘VICTORIAN’was still being used as a routine term of opprobrium when, in the run-up to the 1983 election, Mrs. Thatcher annexed ‘Victorian values’ to her Party’s platform and turned them into a talisman for lost stabilities. It is still commonly used today as a byword for the repressive just as (a strange neologism of the 1940s) ‘Dickensian’ is used as a short-hand expression to describe conditions of squalor and want. In Mrs. Thatcher’s lexicon, ‘Victorian’ seems to have been an interchangeable term for the traditional and the old-fashioned, though when the occasion demanded she was not averse to using it in a perjorative sense. Marxism, she liked to say, was a Victorian, (or mid-Victorian) ideo1ogy;l and she criticised ninetenth-century paternalism as propounded by Disraeli as anachronistic.2 Read 12 December 1990. 0 The British Academy 1992.

Three days later, at the Lord Mayor’s Banquet at the Guildhall in the City of London, she spoke about free elections and a multiparty system in East Germany, cooperation with the emerging democracies of Central Europe and the new role which NATO would have to play.

  • Margaret Thatcher, Thatcherism and Education
    Commentary Reginald Edwards McGill University Margaret Thatcher, Thatcherism and Education The changes in educational policy in Britain that are being promoted by Margaret Thatcher's government are of such significance that educators in North America might be well advised to take notice of them. Professor Buck, in the Win ter issue of this journal, detailed many of these changes and compared them to the policies of Matthew Arnold. In this commentary, an attempt is made to examine the personal and political background of Margaret Thatcher and to draw sorne inferences about the origin of her ideas and policies, which have come to be known commonlyas "Thatcherism." Thatcher's personal background Margaret Roberts, born in Grantham, Lincolnshire, in 1925, began her education in a local primary school, and at the age of eleven began secondary education at the Kestevan and Grantham Grammar School for Girls. Admitted to Somerville College, Oxford, in 1943, she graduated in Science in 1946. In her final year she was the President of the Oxford University Conservative Association and, in this capacity, was invited to her first Annual Conference of the Conservative Party in 1946. She attended her second conference in 1948, as the representative of the Graduates' Association, and met representatives of the Dartford constituency. Asking to submit her name as a candidate for nomination, she was accepted, and she contested, unsuccessfully, the elections of 1950 and 1951 for that constituency. Through her political activities she met Dennis Thatcher, whom she married in an East London Methodist Chapel in December 1951. After marriage she began to study law, specializing in taxation law, and was adJTJitted to the Bar in 1954, one year after giving birth to twins.

  • The Soviet Collapse and the Charm of Hindsight 75
    The Soviet Collapse and the Charm of Hindsight 75 Chapter 4 The Soviet Collapse and the Charm of Hindsight Rodric Braithwaite Those on the spot always get some things wrong: memory later be- trays them. Those who subsequently try to disentangle the story always miss part of the context. In politics, perceptions and emotions are as important as reason. The theme of what follows is that we cannot un- derstand the causes and consequences of the Soviet collapse unless we take every account of its deep roots in the past and the strong emotions that accompanied it. It is of course imprudent, or even impertinent, for foreigners to pontificate about how “most Russians” think or feel. But it is an essential part of the story. In this deliberately personal account I attempt to recreate how the collapse looked to me at the time and in the aftermath, drawing on a detailed diary, my reporting to London, and on later writings. I. How it Looked at the Time A Kind of Democracy Poland shows the way I witnessed two attempts to bring a kind of democracy to the com- munist world. The Polish experiment of the late 1950s and the Soviet experiment of the late 1980s are now largely forgotten or ignored. Both are significant for the history of the time, and for an understanding of the events of today. In October 1956 the Poles expelled their Soviet advisers, abolished the collective farms, allowed people to travel abroad, and gave a de- gree of freedom to the press. They were encouraged by Khrushchev’s denunciation of Stalin, and driven by a combination of patriotism, a 75 76 exiting the cold war, entering a new world liberal faction inside the Party, and an alliance between students and workers.

  • Margaret Thatcher's Eulogy for Ronald Reagan
    Margaret Thatcher’s Eulogy for Ronald Reagan Presenter Suzanne Houser AP reader three years Mountain View High School, Gwinnett County [email protected] Key Points Understand the rhetorical situation Explain how each strategy conveys purpose and effect Provide appropriate evidence to support assertions Indicate awareness of audience Avoid being trope “heavy” Move chronologically through the speech to avoid being formulaic in structure Look for “big picture” argument and explain how she develops it. Sample opening paragraph The death of Ronald Reagan signified the loss of an idol to the American people. Reagan is legacy of charm and optimism still exists today in the hearts of many Americans. Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher memorializes this in her 2004 eulogy through the use of caricature, parallelism, and emotionally charged language. Body Paragraph Two As soon as someone passes away, they become memorialized in an extremely gracious way, sometimes almost martyred or fictionalized. Margaret Thatcher creates a caricature of Ronal Reagan, reinventing him as a symbol for all of America and its “large-hearted magnanimity,” which is ironic considering his treatment of the lower class. Thatcher also exaggerates Reagan’s foreign policy during the Cold War era to emphasize his “candid and tough” polices on the Soviet Union. She also refers to his infamous use “god-language” through his quote “whatever time I’ve got left belongs to the big fella upstairs.” Thatcher’s caricaturizing continues when she states that “when the world threw problems at the White House, he was not baffled or disoriented or overwhelmed. He almost instinctively knew what to do.” This is also ironic considering Reagan’s Alzheimer's disease.

  • Mikhail Gorbachev and Margaret Thatcher: Allies in Crisis
    MIKHAIL GORBACHEV AND MRS THATCHER ALLIES IN CRISIS HILLEL TICKTIN INTRODUCTION It is evident, as Bob Arnothas pointed out, that there is little that is really new about Gorbachev's economic proposals. It is equally clear, as Bohdan Krawchenko has demonstrated, that Gorbachev has absolutely no chance of doing what he really wants to do: that is, introducethe market. The last point was vividly illustratedin fact, in a speech given by Aganbegyanto the World Affairs Councilin Los Angeles on the 17th November 1988. In it he talked at great length about how little had actually been achieved so far and how much still needed to be done. Yet, when he came to outline his plan for the future, it was striking (to me at least) how little was really going to change. He discussed the need to raise living standards. The imperativeto introduce new technique and the importance of encouraging more foreign investment into the USSR. However, he said nothing at all about fundamentally restructuring the economy. Pricereform was not discussed. Unemployment was not mentioned and the problem of establishing a convertible rouble was not even touched upon. It was a carefulspeech which suggested more of the same, rather than a radical change. I take this as being the official line. Thus, even thoughit wants to, the Soviet elite cannot introducethe market. The interesting question for us, obviously, is why it is unable to do so? This in turnraises another, equally important problem: what is the cause of the Soviet economic crisis? For clearly, if there were no crisis, economic reform would beonnecessary.

  • Big Government? Public Manager of the Week
    PAD 6060 week two lecture University of North Florida Master of Public Administration program PAD 6060 Public administration in modern society Fall 2017 Big government? Public manager of the week Photo credit Margaret Thatcher Former Prime Minister, and small government advocate Lecture goals: Introduce some perspectives on public management. * In this lecture we'll look at some historical context of American public administration, then look at some conceptual perspectives. But we’ll start with some (necessarily crude) definitional differences between public administration/ management/ policy/ affairs: Political science/politics (as in a Major in Political Science): a focus on human governance from the perspective of political leaders, and their elections. Public affairs (as in School of Public and Environmental Affairs): a broad focus on the formal organizations, and processes of human governance. This is an umbrella term, including the following: o Public policy (as in the Association for Public Policy Analysis and Management): a focus on the processes of (or interactions involved in) human governance. Public policy also tends to focus on analytical techniques for solving policy problems. For a discussion of the difference between the MPA and MPP (Master of Public Policy), from the accrediting agency for both, click link. o Public administration (as in the American Society for Public Administration): a focus on the structures of (or organizations involved in) human governance. The focus is especially on managing (‘administering’) government organizations. Public management (as in the Public Management Research Association): much the same as public administration (focus on structures), save that it purports to take a more pragmatic, how-to-manage-an-organization approach.

He was the one who believed in me, gave me the opportunity to apply for and finally get the PhD studentship that made this study possible. During the years I spent as a student in a foreign country, he introduced me to precious theoretical and practical fields of academic work and has been above all a friend and a companion. I would also like to express my deep gratitude to my Greek supervisor, Professor Kostas Skordoulis, for being a mentor, a trusted friend and a constant source of inspiration. He guided me through my MA making use of our common background in physics and introduced me to Critical Pedagogy and Marxist research. Over the course of my academic life, he has guided and supported me always being available to hear my research concerns. I would like to thank my second supervisor, Dr Alpesh Maisuria for his constructive comments and suggestions. Being half-way through his doctoral thesis, he was more of a colleague who was there to offer daily practical advice. I would also like to thank Anglia Ruskin University and especially the Faculty of Health, Social Care and Education for supporting financially this study with a PhD stipend studentship during the first three years and with two more tuition-free years.
