Pandemonium Britain: Interactions between Formal and Informal Places of Governance in the 1980s
This article explores what many now perceive as a recurrent problem in Britain: urban riots. It was under Thatcher and her neoliberal policies that this phenomenon increased in scale: the inner cities of London and Birmingham (at the time undergoing urban renewal), for example, regularly experienced riots bringing into conflict various communities or youths and policemen, just as in the inner cities of other areas, despite the adoption of specific measures. The issue at the time was, Should the events be read in terms of violent lawless unemployed black youths enjoying wreaking havoc on cities or instead be read in terms of a section of British society claiming recognition as fully fledged citizens of a multiethnic and multicultural country? I provide an overview of the most emblematic riots and the copycat uproars that followed. The riots led to the publication of reports commissioned by the Conservative government. This article investigates the underlying causes of the 1980s riots, and seeks to ask if the social and economic policies put in place by the Conservatives as a remedy to the riots were in keeping with the conclusions of the enquiry reports; or if such policies instead constituted part of a democratic solution to endemic violence or rather an additional source of revolt.
