Outline of Final Research Achievements

Along with the continuing popularity on economic liberalism as neo-liberalism, British politics witnessed an emerging emphasis on the idea of civil liberty in the mid-1990s. By this emphasis the years up to the economic crisis in 2007 marked a separate phase in the "liberal tradition" of British political history. This research, through multi-dimensional observations, has identified the characteristics of this decade in British politics.
