| dc.description.abstract | This thesis examines the development of the neo-conservative June Club in Germany during the period 1919-1928. Based on the group's journal Das Gewissen (1919- 1928), and its collective publication Die Neue Front (1922), it explores the gradual coalescing of the June Club ' s membership and its attempt to develop a coherent neo-conservative political movement. While insights are provided into the June Club's sociological background through a study of some of its more noted participants, Das Gewissen and Die Neue Front are used as a basis for exploring the group's ideas in the areas of domestic policy, foreign policy, the economy and corporatism, culture, as well as the significance of the war and revolution in Germany. A claim is made that the ideology developed by the June Club played a part in helping to prepare the German populace to later accept the more radical ideas of the Nazis. This thesis reveals the group as an integral piece of the puzzle which makes up the fascinating shift from rational politics in Germany, to the popular longing for national redemption and a great leader figure. | |
