Last week witnessed the renewal of conservatism in Britain. Prime Minister Theresa May launched a Conservative Party manifesto—the UK equivalent of a U.S. party platform—that marked a major break with the laissez-faire philosophy of Margaret Thatcher.
Relatively light on policy detail, the manifesto reads as a statement of May’s political philosophy. In the wake of the Brexit vote, May has made it her mission to address the economic and cultural failures of liberal governance in Britain since the end of the Cold War by rebalancing the relationship between the nation-state and globalization.
