British Politics

About this book

Fully revised and updated third edition of a popular, established textbook, providing a definitive introduction to Britain's politics, political institutions and processes. Comprehensively re-worked and re-structured to better align with courses, this new edition places great emphasis on the changing context of British politics while addressing key themes such as the ongoing importance of gender and ethnicity to political and social life in Britain. Furthermore, the book's familiar authoritative style has been retained with a fresh look and revitalized pedagogical features to provide a complete learning package. The book is designed for courses on or related to British politics. Its accessible style and context-setting Part 1 will make it ideal for students new to the field (particularly those who haven't studied the subject at school level or international students), but its rigour will stimulate and engage more experienced students. New to this Edition:
- Fully updated to cover the 2016 EU Referendum, the 2017 General Election and other key political developments
- 'Politics in Action' videos with key academic experts and practitioners offer differing viewpoints on the political system
- Expanded companion website featuring regular updates and additional pedagogic tools for students and lecturers alike, such as self-test quizzes, flashcards, timelines, a lecturer testbank and lecture slides
- Vibrant and engaging full colour page design to help your students navigate the book's broad coverage

some 
of

Part

introduces 
you 
to 
the

We 
examine 
the 
history 
of 
politics 
in 
the

from 
the

past. 
It 
ends 
by 
providing 
a 
snapshot 
of 
contemporary 
politics 
and 
society, 
and 
examining 
the 
diversity 
of 
the
