Recenzii

Ever been baffled by the working of British politics and government, its structures, and its hidden wiring? Your worries are over. Read this book and you will find out how we got here, where we are now, and acquire a sense of where we might be going in these most perplexing of times.
Very well organised and comprehensive coverage with a variety of different features, including primary source material, comparative data and excellent explanations and examples to illustrate the main points.
Excellent introductory text for students [...] full of detailed case studies to tease out some of the complexities and dilemmas in British politics at the moment.
The mixture of historical detail, current information, in practice/in theory discussion and debates works very well and would give me a wealth of information to draw on and to direct students towards.
