The first section provides an overview of the scheme and its North American origins. The second half of the article explores the scheme in the context of London's electoral geopolitics, and considers how the relationship between the boroughs and the GLC influenced housing policy across the capital. The article then locates the scheme within the context of the 'inner city', and explores the complex relationship between race, homeownership, and the Conservative Party during the late 1970s. Finally, the article identifies the formation of a Conservative urban imaginary that envisioned London as a 'city of villages', resurrecting the brick terraced street as the ideal domestic form, in opposition to the high-rise housing of welfare state modernism-and in so doing, drew on a growing sense of popular individualism during the decade. To conclude, the article proposes that the GLC's Homesteading scheme was a striking prefiguration of the kinds of urban interventions in British cities that characterized Thatcher's premiership, and that it has significance for understanding a range of diverse, intersecting urban issues during the period.</p>","PeriodicalId":46051,"journal":{"name":"Twentieth Century British History","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2022-08-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"62113775","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"历史学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This ambitious agenda faced a major challenge when, in October 1977, Owen was alerted to the imminent shipment of British Ferret and Saladin armoured vehicles to the repressive Salvadoran regime of Carlos Humberto Romero. By uncovering the machinations that led to the eventual cancellation of the armoured vehicles contract in January 1978, this article explores how the Catholic Institute for International Relations (CIIR) spearheaded a powerful lobbying campaign, bringing the combined pressure of sympathetic journalists, parliamentarians, civil servants, and representatives of the Catholic Church within Britain to bear on the foreign policy establishment. This article therefore contributes towards a greater understanding of Britain’s burgeoning human rights network, the connections it cultivated within Whitehall, and the processes through which it was able to effectively subvert traditional modes of foreign policymaking during a ‘breakthrough’ moment in human rights history.","PeriodicalId":46051,"journal":{"name":"Twentieth Century British History","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2022-07-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44335814","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"历史学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
