About
Currently on an M.Phil, working on the relationship between the direction of British foreign policy and its knock-on effect on the British shipbuilding industry in the first half of the 20th century. More specifically, I am attempting to establish a link between the politicisation of yard workers towards radical politics and any influence they managed to exert at a higher level upon MPs to sustain or increase government spending in their sector, particularly on naval arms. In addition, the wider economic and political consequences of such actions are being examined, such as the potential for this to be a factor in the outbreak of certain armed conflicts.
