Abstract

Trotz des Gegensatzes zweier Parteien - zunächst der Whigs und der Tories, dann der Liberalen und der Konservativen - war Großbritannien im 19. Jahrhundert von einer politischen Kultur der Mäßigung geprägt. Träger dieser politischen Kultur war eine Gruppe von Politikern, die stets den Mittelweg zwischen den Extremen suchten und als Liberal Tories bzw. Liberal Conservatives bezeichnet wurden. Das vorliegende Buch schließt eine Forschungslücke, indem es die Entwicklung dieses britischen Liberalkonservatismus in der Zeit von 1750 bis 1850 untersucht und dabei zunächst die politische Philosophie Edmund Burkes in den Blick nimmt, um dann zu zeigen, wie die auf ihn folgenden Liberal Tories bzw. Liberal Conservatives an sein Denken anknüpften. Es führt vor Augen, wie Politiker wie George Canning und Sir Robert Peel, ausgehend von Burke und der politischen Philosophie der "Old Whigs", eine Politik der Mitte führten, die sich stets an den Tugenden der Mäßigung und der Klugheit orientierten. Damit beleuchtet das Buch die konservative Variante des Liberalismus, der Großbritannien das gesamte 19. Jahrhundert hindurch prägte.

Abstract

With the Industrial Revolution came the challenge of modernisation and new working methods. This book will entighten readers to this effect in dockyards. By the end of the Napoleonic Wars, the seven home dockyards of the British Royal Navy employed a workforce of nearly 16,000 men and some women. On account of their size, dockyards add much to our understanding of developing social processes as they pioneered systems of recruitment, training and supervision of large-scale workforces. From 1815-1865 the make-up of those workforces changed with metal working skills replacing wood working skills as dockyards fully harnessed the use of steam and made the conversion from constructing ships of timber to those of iron. The impact on industrial relations and on the environment of the yards was enormous. Concentrating on the yard at Chatham, the book examines how the day-to-day running of a major centre of industrial production changed during this period of transition. The Admiralty decision to build at Chatham the Achilles, the first iron ship to be constructed in a royal dockyard, placed that yard at the forefront of technological change. Had Chatham failed to complete the task satisfactorily, the future of the royal dockyards might have been very different.

Abstract

Centred upon a man who never participated in combat operations during his sixty-year naval career, this volume depicts the routine peacetime operations of the mid-Victorian Royal Navy, operations that have received short shrift in naval histories, even though they have constituted the bulk of the service's mission during the past two centuries. Not surprisingly, the Navy operated in support of the liberal state and its agenda, as many of the documents in this collection make clear. Following the Monroe Doctrine in 1823, both Britain and the United States moved quickly to exploit new trade op

Abstract

The Anglo-German rivalry in battleship building at the beginning of the twentieth century has been blamed by many as a major cause of the First World War, yet 'the Great Naval Race' has not received the attention that its notoriety would merit. This volume facilitates an understanding of how the two parties interacted by providing a comprehensive survey of existing scholarship, as well as important primary sources from a range of archives. By offering German documents in their original text and in English translation, this book makes the German role in this conflict accessible to English speak
