When Gordon Took the Helm is an up-to-date, authoritative account and analysis of developments across all sectors of British government and politics as Tony Blair gave way to Gordon Brown. It covers the constitution, elections and public opinion, the party system, interest group activity, government and administration, the citizen and the law, Parliament, public policy, the practice of devolution, the European dimension, foreign policy and the media. Its appendices provide key data on elections, the government and the civil service, legislation and Parliament. The Review, which covers the period from January 2007 to end June 2008, will be invaluable to students and teachers of British politics and anyone interested in current affairs. Reviews of previous edition: 'This impressive and comprehensive edited collection of essays is a welcome addition to the existing material concerning the study of British politics. It provides an almost up-to-the-minute analysis of all the significant political high and low points to occur during 2006. This is a very important and accessible book.' -- Brian Davies, Political Studies Review 'An important book that will influence and stimulate debate on this crucial topic.
