Opis: Exploring British Politics - Mark Garnett, Philip Lynch, Garnett

Concise, comprehensive and accessible, Exploring British Politics presents an insightful and fresh approach to British politics with a special emphasis on recent developments. Designed to stimulate critical analysis and provoke lively debate, it provides new perspectives on two key themes; the health of British democracy and the transition from traditional models of government to more flexible forms of governance'. Whilst framed in a discussion of the essential historical background of British politics, contemporary issues are to the fore throughout and readers are encouraged to scrutinise what is often taken for granted and to develop their own thoughts and ideas. Whether studying the subject for the first time or revisiting it, Exploring British Politics is the ideal undergraduate text. "This book provides an insightful and intriguing new addition to the literature on British Politics". Dr.Dan Hough, Lecturer in Politics at the University of Sussex 'Thought-provoking, incisive and informative, Exploring British Politics provides an excellent and welcome addition to the current literature. Shedding light upon the key debates in British government and politics, the authors use a wealth of contemporary and historical examples to illustrate their arguments. Both students new to British Politics as well as those already familiar with the subject area, will greatly benefit from reading this engaging text'.
