A short but comprehensive textbook for students of British politics which interprets changes over the last thirty years and analyses institutions within the context of British society and economics.

Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description

Since the 1970s, British politics has undergone something of a revolution: the collapse of strong class allegiance to parties, the recovery of an economy once perceived to be in terminal decline, the near 20-year rule of the Tories, and the extraordinary emergence and establishment of the Blair New Labour Party.

Together with these changes, we have also seen the reshaping of the civil service, the establishment of devolved assemblies, the reform of the Lords, the decline of ideology, the apparent crushing of the Conservative Party, and the ubiquity of media management as a tool of political persuasion.

British Politics Today is designed for use by students at a variety of levels, from A/S to undergraduate. It explains, analyses, and interprets the changing mosaic of political life in Britain since the 1970s.

Each chapter has been revised and updated for this edition, and new chapters have been added on devolution and the judiciary.
