Politics UK

by Bill Jones (Editor), Philip Norton (editor), Isabelle Hertner (editor)

Like the first, this edition covers the core features of A level and first-year university syllabuses - the constitution, parliament, prime minister and departments, voting, parties, the media, pressure groups and local government, in the wider context of British political life. All chapters have been thoroughly revised and new chapters on the management of government services, environmental policy, the EC and the politics of law and order have been added. This edition also has more material on social inequality, elections and voting behaviour, quasi-government and the European dimension of British politics. Concluding comments have also been updated where relevant to cover contemporary issues such as trial by jury for the judiciary and public order.

[Seb Rattansen · Rating 4 out of 5]

Wow, finally finished reading this TOME. Very comprehensive book. Well written. I now feel like a novice on UK politics. Definitely recommend if you want an all-in-one reference book.

[Marcel Patulacci · Rating 4 out of 5]

"Politics UK" is a dense and strenuous reading but definitely a great starter for anyone interested in gaining general insights on British Politics thanks to a very comprehensive content. This textbook is furthermore cleverly structured and provides extensive bibliographies at the end of each chapter, which might come in handy, if you intend to tackle a specific topic more in-depth.
