Exploring British Politics is a concise, comprehensive, and
accessible guide to the subject. Fully updated and revised, the new
edition covers developments since 2016 in the role of the
executive, parliament, the civil service, political parties,
general elections, party ideology, and membership, as well as
examining turmoil and leadership battles within the Labour and
Conservative parties, the politics of growing inequality, public
action and reaction, demographic trends and their political
consequences, and the future of the UK itself. Stimulating critical
analysis and lively debate, it provides new perspectives on two key
themes – the health of British democracy and the transition from
traditional models of government to more flexible forms of
‘governance’. Key features include: Comprehensive analysis of
the 2019 general election, Brexit developments since the 2016
Referendum to today’s ongoing impacts, and the shadow cast by the
COVID-19 global pandemic and its implications; Topical coverage of
the fall of the Truss leadership, the new Johnson and Sunak era,
the rise and fall of the ‘Change UK’ party, the economic
crisis, the role of special advisers, new social movements such as
Extinction Rebellion and Black Lives Matter, and much more;
Extensive guides to further reading at the end of each chapter;
Richly illustrated through examples and data, often visually
represented; Online support in the form of a comprehensive website
with additional content. Whilst the book provides an essential
historical background, contemporary issues are to the fore
throughout and readers are encouraged to assess critically received
wisdoms and develop their own thoughts and ideas. Whether studying
the subject for the first time or revisiting it, Exploring British
Politics is the ideal undergraduate text.
