Absolute Decline and RelativeDecline到19世纪80年代英国经济在世界上占主导地位产生一个世界上,一半的煤,铁,半制成品的棉花三分之一。

英国航运数额更大的世界其他地区加起来比。

但即使到1900年这不再是这样,英国有超过都被美国和德国,当然也从1945年到现在,对英国经济的故事通常是作为一个思想的下降。

这是可以理解的,而是误导,因为它实际上一直是经济稳定增长时期,迅速提高生活水平。

英国仍然是七工业经济大集团之一。

但也有描述为这一时期下降的原因之一。

中英双方作为第二次世界大战的成功盟友之一战后世界,同其主要竞争对手的一些国家,如德国和日本,经济遭到破坏。

同时英国是一个更加庞大帝国的中心。

数字显示,英国是仅次于美国在国际经济中。

因此,英国当时显然是在强大的经济地位,它的地位显然不再占据,这表明一些下降排序。

但基本的正面描述的经济规模表面上的事实,世界贸易是英国比例很高,因此在1945年,没有透露有关英国的立场,重要的负面事实即使这样。

首先该国了负债累累,以资助战争,累计出售其海外资产多,借用美国和加拿大的大量资金。

这些债务意味着英国进入一个重大的经济问题,战后时代。

其次,帝国时代已经结束。

印度,俗称为“在大英帝国的皇冠”珠宝称,1947年取得独立,只有2年后战争结束。

这是在帝国的最大元素,提供原材料,并为英国商品的大市场。

这与印度的关系已不再可用,帝国的其它国家也纷纷仿效印度独立,剩下的只是一个中等规模的欧洲国家,英国的人口只有五分之一的美国的大小,第三,尽管相对快速和顺利的非殖民化自由的过程中,英国仍然不得不维持一个庞大而昂贵的地方,许多海外的军事存在,直到该进程完成(主要是由60年代末)。

此外,政府立场的其中一个职位的塑造者,战后世界需要大量的军事贡献,作为北约的主要伙伴之一两者,作为安理会常任理事国。

所有这一切的结果是英国用于军事比其大多数竞争对手其国民财富(尤其是其研究和开发预算)的比例较高。

英语国家社会与文化入门全文翻译ABriefIntroductiontotheUnitedKingdom该国,我们正在研究的全称是大不列颠及北爱尔兰联合王国。

这是一个什么在许多方面是一个复杂的国家复杂的名字。

大多数人都知道做些什么,因为它的庞大的海外帝国给它一个重要的国际作用,只是来到一个在未来数年年底,之后第二次世界大战。

然而,一些市民对英国知道(他们可能会呼吁干脆英国或错误,英格兰)可能不大如何最真实的英国人今天过自己的生活。

一方面,帝国的日子已经足够长的时间以前,只有老人记得他们的任何东西是生活中的重要性。

英国不再是一个帝国的国家,尽管其帝国的影响可能常常在遇到的各种方式,而不是在与50或更多曾是这个帝国的一部分,和国家之间的密切关系,至少它通过一个松散的维持(自愿)组织的联系称为英联邦国家。

但更重要的英国国际关系今天是欧洲联盟,其中英国1973年以来的成员,这是在考虑更有用现代英国强调它的作用作为一个欧洲国家,而不是其英联邦成员资格。

它仍然是一个相对富裕的国家,是7国集团成员的大型发达经济体。

另外一个旧帝国的作用明显成效在于弥补的英国人口本身。

从这些英联邦国家,这在20世纪50年代和60年代鼓励一些移民,已制作了其中1人在20个非欧洲种族。

他们自己或其父母或祖父母,出生在印度或巴基斯坦,加勒比国家,这些只是最常见的。

这将引入什么是对英国的章节关键主题:因为是大多数情况下,或所有,国家是不可能总结了一些简单的对话英国人民。

英国认为谁,很多人认为的英国绅士。

但是,这仅仅是一个旧有的从未适用于英国绝大多数人来说,没有什么真正的有效性今天。

英国是一个国家,一个单一的护照,和一个政府及对其所有的主权,但作为国家的大力顾名思义,它是由不同的元素组成。

它包括4一个国家内的部分国家:大不列颠岛是由英格兰,苏格兰和威尔士,北爱尔兰,一份关于爱尔兰邻近的岛屿省份,完成设置。

因此,在讨论英国和英国的一些考虑,必须使这些分歧,例如:一个来自苏格兰的女人不会高兴,如果我们打电话给她的英国绅士?她是苏格兰和女性,并认为她的身份从不同的男人和不同的英语。

第3单元 英国的政府英国可以说是世界上最古老的代议民主制国家主,其代议民主制度起源于1000多年以前。

其它一些国家也有如此悠久的政治历史,但这些历史往往经受突然的暴力性剧变。

尽管英国历史上也曾有过政治不稳定时期,但相对于法国、美国或中国而言,英国的建国历史是一个逐渐演变而不是革命性剧变的过程。

这样长久持续的历史在英国现今的政治体制和政治文化中仍然有所体现。

(政治文化是一个国家有关政权、政府制度及政策制定的理论和价值观等。

)君主政体最古老的政府制度是君主政体(由国王统治)。

这可以追溯到从公元5世纪开始统治英国直到1066年被诺曼人征服的撒克逊人。

埃格伯特国王于公元829年将英格兰统一在自己的统治之下,而现在的女王伊丽莎白二世是他的直系后代。

君王的权利主要来自古老的信条“君权神授”。

它认为君主的权威性是来自上帝的,而不是来自他的臣民们。

虽然有时不同的家庭之间有王位之争,都坚持说自己是王位的合法继承人,但由于有这种神圣的权利,很少有人质疑过君主制是否应该存在。

1000多年来,英国一直是由世袭国王和女王统治。

但有一次短暂的例外。

在17世纪,英格兰共和派“圆颅党人”(之所以称“圆颅党人”是因为这些人公然藐视流行时尚,而把头发剪得非常短)和保皇派之间有一次内战。

圆颅党人由奥列佛·克伦威尔,他想废除君主制,而保皇派卢继续维持它。

1642年,圆颅党人成功地罢黜了国王查理一世,统治了整整11年之后,王朝复辟了。

虽然在理论上,君主有上帝撑腰,但实际上,甚至是在中古时代,人们就认为君主不能无限先例权力,而是应该乐于接受杰出人物的建议。

一群封建地主和都会反对约翰国王(1199-1216)的一些政策。

这种反对势力如此强大以致于国王最终同意给予他们一个自由宪章和一些政治权利,这个自由宪章现在仍然用的是中古时代的拉丁文名称“Magna Carta”(“大宪章”)。

大宪章对于国王进行一些限制,使他不能滥用皇家的权利,这仍然被看作是英国市民有权反对王室的一次典型表现。
