Uma arte liberal da guerra: a grã-bretanha e a primeira guerra mundial

Ler Historia, 66, 2014, p.141-159

A Primeira Guerra Mundial forçou a Grã-Bretanha a adaptar as suas estruturas militares, económicas e políticas em função dos desafios da guerra industrializada. A transformação do seu exército – uma pequena força convencionalmente encarregada do policiamento do Império – teve um impacto considerável na cultura política liberal dominante. A guerra desafiou concepções de cidadania estabelecida e redefiniu a relação entre o Estado e a sociedade civil. Este artigo assenta numa abordagem comparativa e transnacional e procura demonstrar que, apesar do indiscutível crescimento do aparelho de Estado, a guerra não foi um jogo de vencedores e vencidos para a sociedade civil britânica. Este artigo procura neste sentido reavaliar a importância crítica do pluralismo liberal que caracterizou o sistema político britânico em tempo de guerra.

The transition from secondary school to university is often challenging, not least for first-generation students. It has been particularly difficult to navigate for those students who came of age during the Covid-19 pandemic and spent the best part of two years learning on-line.

Back in October, I opened my first-year seminar discussions with remarks I had often found myself repeating over the years. I thought it might be useful to share them during our first meetings; to establish a set of principles and expectations which are not always made clear to university students.

Since feedback from both students and colleagues has been rather positive, I decided to share this on my blog. Bear in mind this was simply meant to serve as a memo for my first class with Year 1 History students. It turned out to be much longer than planned and it was never intended for publication. It is pretty rough and frank, but I hope it might be of some use to students and colleagues within and outside Warwick.
