Does the Coalition government represent a new politics in Britain, or is the new government just the same old Tories hiding behind an opportunist pact with the Liberal Democrats? Does Cameron differ from past Conservatives like Margaret Thatcher, and if so, how? This book looks at the Coalition government in the context of conservative ideas and seeks to assess what, if anything, is new about it. The book is aimed at undergraduates and those interested in the future direction of politics in the UK.

Major changes which have occurred since this book was first published have been included in this edition. In particular, the chapter on Germany has been substantially revised and now includes a separate section on easter Germany. The other five countries covered in the book have also witnessed changes in their business culture and these have been taken into consideration. This book examines the background to business practice in Europe of six major countries: Germany, France, Italy, the UK, Spain and the Netherlands. Each chapter tracks the commercial development of that country in the late 1970s, 1980s and early 1990s, focusing on the business environment, special features affecting business, and the response to the EC's single market. The business culture section in each is divided further into business and government, business and the economy, business and the law, business and finance, business and the labour market, business and trade unions and business training, education and development. The test is organized in such a manner to enable cross-referencing between countries, and maps have been included in the new edition.

In an ideal world, shouldn't everyone have the security of owning their own home? Doesn't owning one's home improve housing stock, financial security, and civil society? If all this is true, why, in Britain, is the "Right to Buy" the Conservatives' effort to bring the opportunity of homeownership to a large number of people living in social housing such a contentious and vilified policy? Housing Policy Transformed is the first book in ten years which covers the ideological and conceptual issues around owner occupation and the continuance of the Right to Buy in Britain's post-Thatcher era. The book explores Britain's social, economic, and cultural peculiarities that led to the Right to Buy policy, and how it has managed to survive for 30 years. It looks at why there has been such a harsh critique of the Right to Buy policy from the Left and the negative effects that the Right to Buy policy (combined with Britain's Housing Benefit and the Homelessness Act) have had on social housin

The criminal law has often been seen as central to the rule of the 18th century landed elite. Within detailed studies of every stage of the criminal process this volume explores key issues such as who used the law, for what purposes, and with what effects. It then challenges the view that the law was primarily the instrument of a small elite, portraying it instead as an arena of struggle, negotiation, and compromise used by many different social groups. The criminal justice system may have somtimes been vulnerable to power but it was also useful in limiting it.
