Description

Exploring British Politics is a concise, comprehensive, and accessible guide to the subject. Fully updated and revised, the new edition covers developments since 2016 in the role of the executive, parliament, the civil service, political parties, general elections, party ideology, and membership, as well as examining turmoil and leadership battles within the Labour and Conservative parties, the politics of growing inequality, public action and reaction, demographic trends and their political consequences, and the future of the UK itself. Stimulating critical analysis and 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'.

Key features include:

  • Comprehensive analysis of the 2019 general election, Brexit developments since the 2016 Referendum to today's ongoing impacts, and the shadow cast by the COVID-19 global pandemic and its implications;
  • Topical coverage of the fall of the Truss leadership, the new Johnson and Sunak era, the rise and fall of the 'Change UK' party, the economic crisis, the role of special advisers, new social movements such as Extinction Rebellion and Black Lives Matter, and much more;
  • Extensive guides to further reading at the end of each chapter;
  • Richly illustrated through examples and data, often visually represented;
  • Online support in the form of a comprehensive website with additional content.

Whilst the book provides an essential historical background, contemporary issues are to the fore throughout and readers are encouraged to assess critically received wisdoms and 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.
