Abstract

Recent theories of party change have emphasized interaction between political parties and their environment Employing this notion of interaction, this article has attempted to provide a more systematic analysis of the rise of Thatcherism in the British Conservative Party. It has demonstrated that while socio-economic changes provided a primary source of the ideological change, there were internal processes within the party that perceived environmental pressure from the socio-economic changes and actually pursued the task of the ideological change. First, environmental change in the socio-economic arena provided an initial cause of the rise of Thatcherism in the British Conservative Party. Second, electoral defeats also played a significant influence in the rise of Thatcherism. Third, a replacement of party leadership was another significant intervening impetus of the ideological change.
