The study of British politics has been reinvigorated in recent
years as a generation of new scholars seeks to build-upon a
distinct disciplinary heritage while also exploring new empirical
territory, and finds much support and encouragement from previous
generations in forging new grounds in relation to theory and
methods. It is in this context that The Oxford Handbook of British
Politics has been conceived. The central ambition of the Handbook
is not just to illustrate both the breadth and depth of scholarship
that is to be found within the field. It also seeks to demonstrate
the vibrancy and critical self-reflection that has cultivated a
much sharper and engaging, and notably less insular, approach to
the terrain it seeks to explore and understand. In this emphasis on
critical engagement, disciplinary evolution, and a commitment to
shaping rather than re-stating the discipline The Oxford Handbook
of British Politics is consciously distinctive.
In showcasing the diversity now found in the analysis of British
politics, the Handbook is built upon three foundations. The first
principle that underpins the volume is a broad understanding of
'the political'. It covers a much broader range of topics, themes
and issues than would commonly be found within a book on British
politics. This emphasis on an inclusive approach also characterizes
the second principle that has shaped this collection--namely,
diversity in relation to commissioned authors. The final principle
focuses on the distinctiveness of the study of British politics.
Each chapter seeks to reflect on what is distinctive--both in terms
of the empirical nature of the issue of concern, and the theories
and methods that have been deployed to unravel the nature and
causes of the debate. The result is a unique volume that:
draws-upon the intellectual strengths of the study of British
politics; reflects the innate diversity and inclusiveness of the
discipline; isolates certain distinctive issues and then reflects
on their broader international relevance; and finally looks to the
future by pointing towards emerging or overlooked areas of
research.
