Reviews / Votes
'[S]timulating, often uncomfortably so...[s]hould be immediately required reading for anyone teaching British politics.' - Michael St. John Parker, Parliamentary Affairs 'This rich collection of stimulating, scholarly yet accessible essays is ideal for students in making the crucial move from introductory texts to a more focused and detailed analysis of the fascinating questions which are indeed fundamental to the world of power, politics and government.' - John Kingdom, Political Studies 'This is a fascinating, occasionally exhilarating, book - a thorough and sophisticated guide to both British politics as such and academic thinking on the subject...The list of contributors is a roll-call of the brightest and best in British political science...[I]t will surely become essential reading to those embarking on degree-level studies.' - J. Boughton, Talking PoliticsMore details
