Do the Ideas of The New Right have a future?


             Aims.
             The New Right believed that the state was trying to do too much and that perhaps certain issues would be better left to the individual to solve. Mrs.Thatcher, a key activist of the New Right in Britain, believed that a strong state was a state that could restrain itself and trade unions from involvement in a free market economy. A free economy was also one of the main aims of the New Right policies. Andrew Gamble would argue that policies of the New Right came to two overall aims, being the free economy and the strong state. (www.essaybank.co.uk.). .
             The New Right believed in the protection of culture and that globalisation sells culture. Ruter and Veldman, authors of two articles regarding the central ideology behind the New Right, often quote Marx saying, capital "colonises the imagination," and eventually is the "uniformation of the ways of life". Ruter and Veldman believe that culture should be preserved and passed on to future generations unharmed. (www.savanne.ch). In this sense the New Right is the protector of cultural identity.
             The specific aims of the New Right are very similar to that which Massey argues for New Public Management (NPM), although NPM (managerialism) is essentially a reform to replace the traditional model of Public Administration system e.g. aims such as,.
             "To reduce the role and extent of the state in order to enhance that of the private sector". (Cited in Hughes:1998:61).
             Similarly the New Right and Thatcherism wanted to see the civil service become a more efficient bureaucracy e.g. the implementation of the "Next Steps" reforms, which was considered to be the biggest shake up of the civil service for 130 years. Thatcherism brought with it privatization. Public companies were sold, legislation (Housing Act 1980) made it possible for rented council houses to be purchased and public services such as, water and electricity were sold. (www.essaybank.co.uk). .
             Failure of the New Right.
