The Twilight of Exceptionalism

The Liberal and Conservative Era
Book •
In 'The Twilight of Exceptionalism,' Paul Kelly examines the era of Liberal and conservative dominance in Australian politics, arguing that a distinctive national narrative is changing.

Kelly traces political, economic and cultural shifts that have reshaped Australia's institutions and public life, situating recent governments within a broader historical arc.

He reflects on policy choices, party evolution, and the decline of older certainties that underpinned post-war Australian exceptionalism.

The book assesses how demographic, technological and global forces have challenged traditional political alignments and policy frameworks.

Kelly offers perspective on what this means for the future of governance and national identity.
