The fifth edition of British Politics is a significantly expanded
work that draws on the contribution of three new political
scientists and redresses the balance between the historical context
of British Politics and key theoretical debates. British Politics
5/e overcomes the traditional problem of looking at Britain in
isolation and the narrow, institution-based approach to politics by
re-focusing on the international context in which Britain operates,
and the way in which globalization, Europeanization, and the
marketization of the state have conditioned the nature of politics
today. The text is both theoretically and practically informed,
combining a descriptive account of the institutions and processes
of the British political system with a lively and engaging
discussion of new issues and policies. It addresses numerous
contemporary topics, including the impact of a third term Labour
Government; the threat to individual liberty in a post-9/11 world;
the London 2005 bombings; Britain's destiny as a European partner;
the implications of race and asylum-seeking; the growth and effect
of direct action on the political system; and a health-check on
democracy in an age of electoral decline. It also considers
contemporary issues surrounding the public service; participation
and representation; and democracy and accountability; while
providing a detailed and accessible examination of a range of
policy areas (economic, welfare, transport, education, law,
immigration and defence) based on recent interviews conducted by
the authors themselves with key political actors. ONLINE RESOURCE
CENTRE For lecturers: seminar activities, essay questions, case
