Volte-face ( or ) is a total change of position, as in policy or opinion; an about-face. The expression comes through French, from Italian ''voltafaccia'' and Portuguese ''volte face'', composed of ''volta'' (turn) and ''faccia'' (face). In the context of politics a volte-face is, in modern English, often referred to as a U-turn or a flip-flop in the UK and the US respectively. == In politics== *The royal assent by Charles I in June 1628 to the Petition of Right. *The 1938 decision of British Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain to subsidize Balkan economies to resist German economic supremacy. *The 1990s switch of the Bharatiya Janata Party of India from a support of swadeshi (national) products to the embracing of free market ideas *The switch from populist protectionist policies that fed national movements to free market capitalism wholly at odds with the election promises of Solidarity in Poland and the African National Congress in South Africa 〔Klein, Naomi (2007) ''The Shock Doctrine: The Rise of Disaster Capitalism.''
