Routledge The Times Will Suit Them: Postmodern Conservatism - Routledge

Explore the political transformation of Australia through this deep dive into the Howard era. John Howard famously remarked, "The times will suit me," and his decade in power proved it. This book examines how his administration leveraged international crises and local anxieties to reshape Australian public life and maintain government control. Go beyond the daily news cycle to understand the mechanics of Howard's radical conservatism. The text explains how the government and a small group of culture warriors responded to the economic reforms of the previous two decades. By importing moral agendas from the United States, they created a unique brand of postmodern conservatism that changed the nation. This work is essential for readers interested in Australian political history, the impact of economic reform, and the evolution of conservative movements. It provides a clear look at how political strategies can alter the social and cultural landscape of a country.
