Full Description
British politics is a complex and fast-changing mix of the traditional and the new. Many certainties about the political landscape have changed in recent years.
This definitive introduction to Britain's developing political institutions and processes helps you make sense of these changes by exploring how British politics works and its real-world impact.
Thoroughly revised to incorporate the major developments in the political landscape, this fourth edition includes:
- Coverage of the consequences of Labour's 2024 landslide victory and its difficulties in power, the rise of Reform and the Green Party, the revolving Conservative leadership from 2015 to 2024, Corbyn, Covid-19 and Brexit.
- Coverage of international developments such as the challenges of Trump 2.0 and the wars in Ukraine and Gaza.
- Increased focus on questions of gender, ethnicity, nationalism and other forms of identity, reflecting the diversity of contemporary British society and politics.
It is an essential text for undergraduate students of British or UK politics.
