Description

This groundbreaking historical study examines the family life of British diplomats between 1945 and 1990, offering the first comprehensive inquiry into how the British Diplomatic Service adapted to profound social transformations in post-war Britain. Using previously unseen primary sources and extensive interview testimony, the book explores the tension between diplomats' efforts to preserve their elite, insulated circles and the radical changes sweeping through British society during the latter half of the twentieth century. It investigates whether diplomats equipped to maintain traditional hierarchies were truly suited to represent a modernising nation experiencing the end of empire and shifting social values. The work draws on rich archival materials and personal narratives to illuminate the experiences of diplomatic children navigating international mobility, educational disruption, and cultural displacement. This volume contributes significantly to understanding how institutional practices intersect with personal family dynamics during a period of unprecedented national change, making it essential reading for historians, sociologists, and those interested in twentieth-century British social history and institutional adaptation.

Key Features

The book uses previously unseen primary sources and interview testimony to document the experiences of British Diplomatic Service families between 1945 and 1990.

This Routledge publication explores how British diplomats reacted to and were influenced by radical social changes occurring in Britain during the latter half of the twentieth century.

The study examines the tension between diplomatic circles' efforts to maintain elite, enclosed traditions and the broader transformations reshaping British society and post-empire identity.

Diplomatic children's mobile lives and experiences of international relocation form a central focus, offering insights into family adaptation and personal development within institutional constraints.
