Reviews / Votes
Praise for the 10th edition: 'The 10th edition of Developments in British Politics stands out for the calibre of its contributors and the quality of its coverage of the major issues confronting British politics today. The book is always balanced and thought-provoking, whether debating immigration, relations with the EU, or gender representation in parliament. DBP10 offers the best of academic analysis in an accessible but stimulating style. It will be an invaluable companion for students of British politics.' Vivien Lowndes, University of Birmingham, UK 'This text just goes from strength to strength. This edition has great specialised chapters from leading experts and invaluable reflections from the editors on more than 30 years of change in British politics.' Michael Moran, University of Manchester, UK 'Developments in British Politics brings together the best scholars to explain what matters in British politics. Ten editions in, the book offers sharp and rigourous analysis and remains indispensable reading for any student of British politics.' Helen Thompson, University of Cambridge, UK Praise for the previous edition : 'A unique and invaluable contribution to the field and a superb teaching tool - just like its predecessors! Providing uniformly up-to-date and sharply focused presentations of a broad range of topics, its judicious blend of fact, analysis and interpretation is sure to generate lively and stimulating discussions.' - James Alt, Harvard University, USA 'This series just goes from strength to strength. The latest edition is particularly strong on the changing institutional, social and cultural landscapes of British politics.' - Michael Moran, University of Manchester, UK 'A vital and illuminating book that should be read by anyone interested in the death of new Labour, the unfolding drama of the coalition and the extraordinary context in which it was formed' - Steve Richards, chief political commentator for The IndependentMore details
