Conservatism, Christian Democracy and the Dynamics of Transformation

Conservatism, Christian Democracy and the dynamics of transformation explores the traditions, cooperation and influence of centre-right politics in northern and western Europe across the second half of the twentieth century. It analyses the ideological and political affinities between Conservatism and Christian Democracy within an ambitious transnational and comparative framework, and examines how centre-right parties and intellectuals influenced each other and built networks, organisations and institutions in the pursuit of a transnational Conservatism.
> The book contributes to a deeper understanding of the crisis of the centre-right today by showing the composite and contested nature of Conservative and Christian Democratic politics in the latter half of the twentieth century.
