Addressing the notion of the political, cultural, and economic decline of Britain in the 20th century, contributors to this volume discuss the extent and causes of decline, possible remedies, and even whether such a phenomenon exists at all. The first section contains new contributions by participants in the debate based on interviews with the volume's editors. In the second section, authors systematically examine key themes relating to British decline, including ideology, the state, the European context, globalization, and the end of Empire. Annotation c.
