Politics UK

Politics UK provides a comprehensive and accessible account of the core institutions and mechanics of government, continually placing these in a conceptual context that urges the reader to assess critically the state of Britain today. Its palatable style will appeal to all students of politics, and is an indispensable introduction to the discipline's core tenets. This revised edition triumphantly reflects on the contemporary issues of the day and, with the uncertainty to the political climate that Brexit brings, is a must on all British politics reading lists. Dr Sarah Cooper, Lecturer in Politics, University of Exeter, UK Politics UK provides a solid foundation on the key concepts and themes of British politics for undergraduate students at an American university. My students often begin their course with a cursory knowledge of British politics and thus I need a textbook that immerses them without overwhelming them- and Politics UK delivers exactly that. The material within each chapter of this edited volume provides the most substantial overview of British politics available while remaining accessible to students new to the subject. Of particular note are the inclusion of numerous charts, tables, figures and photographs that let my students 'see' British politics. In terms of comprehensive coverage, appropriate level of writing, helpful supplemental material and timely coverage of contemporary events, there is no better textbook on the market. Professor Neal Glen Jesse, Department of Political Science, Bowling Green State University, USA A truly comprehensive and authoritative guide on British politics written by some of themost astute commentators and political scientists on the subject. Up-to-date, well written, great for students starting out and useful for old hands wanting to check their facts.
