This book shows the importance of political ideas in policy-making
and demonstrates the extent to which pragmatic considerations
preclude the imposition of rigid ideological programmes. It charts
the decline of the postwar British 'consensus', the changing face
of both the Conservative and Labour parties under the long shadow
of Thatcherism, and the growing emergence of single issue policies,
such as environmentalism and feminism. With an extensive
bibliography and suggested seminar and essay topics, Principles and
Politics can be used on any course, which focuses on contemporary
British politics, as well as having general appeal to those
interested in looking at the contemporary political and ideological
debate in the context of wider issues and trends. This second
edition is completely revised and updated.
