A successor to the classic British Politics Today (written with Dennis Kavanagh) which has sold over 120,000 copies, this new book addresses a similar task. It aims to condense the complexities of British politics into a short manageable form for students at undergraduate level and above. It would also serve well anyone wishing to quickly acquire a good working knowledge of how the British political system works and has changed over recent decades.
The book covers the whole range of the core areas and the succinctly written text is illustrated with plentiful diagrams, tables and figures. Each chapter provides a coherent summary of the topic concerned and leads the reader on to further reading in longer, more detailed works.
This is the best short book on British politics available and offers excellent value to the student purchaser.
