Abstract

Le premier conflit mondial obligea la Grande-Bretagne à adapter ses structures militaires, économiques et politiques pour répondre aux exigences de la guerre industrielle. La transformation d’une armée traditionnellement assignée au maintien de l’ordre impérial eut un impact considérable sur la culture politique libérale dominante. Le conflit redéfinit les conceptions de la citoyenneté et les rapports entre État et société civile. Malgré la croissance extraordinaire de l’appareil d’État, il s’appuie sur une réflexion comparatiste et transnationale pour démontrer que la guerre ne fut pas, pour la société civile, un jeu à somme nulle. Il réévalue ainsi la force et l’importance du pluralisme libéral qui caractérisait le système politique britannique pendant la Grande Guerre.
The First World War compelled Britain to adapt its military, economic, and political structures to meet the challenges of industrialized warfare. The transformation of the country’s army (a small force traditionally entrusted with policing the Empire) had a considerable impact on the dominant liberal political culture. The war challenged established conceptions of citizenship and redefined the relationship between the State and civil society. This article will build on a transnational and comparative approach to demonstrate that, in spite of the indisputable growth of the State apparatus, the war was not a zero-sum game for British civil society. This paper therefore revaluates the critical importance of the liberal pluralism that characterized the British political system during wartime.
