British Politics de Simon Griffiths

British Politics

Autor Simon Griffiths, Robert Leach
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 15 mar 2018
Fully revised and updated third edition of a popular, established textbook, providing a definitive introduction to Britain's politics, political institutions and processes. Comprehensively re-worked and re-structured to better align with courses, this new edition places great emphasis on the changing context of British politics while addressing key themes such as the ongoing importance of gender and ethnicity to political and social life in Britain. Furthermore, the book's familiar authoritative style has been retained with a fresh look and revitalized pedagogical features to provide a complete learning package.

The book is designed for courses on or related to British politics. Its accessible style and context-setting Part 1 will make it ideal for students new to the field (particularly those who haven't studied the subject at school level or international students), but its rigour will stimulate and engage more experienced students.

New to this Edition:
- Fully updated to cover the 2016 EU Referendum, the 2017 General Election and other key political developments
- 'Politics in Action' videos with key academic experts and practitioners offer differing viewpoints on the political system
- Expanded companion website featuring regular updates and additional pedagogic tools for students and lecturers alike, such as self-test quizzes, flashcards, timelines, a lecturer testbank and lecture slides
- Vibrant and engaging full colour page design to help your students navigate the book's broad coverage

Recenzii

This has been my primary text for intro to British politics for the past five years. It's comprehensive in its treatment of the fundamentals, which is all the more essential during the past decade of post-Brexit instability. Use this as the foundation to build your examination in any direction: institutional, behavioural, or administrative.
A state-of-the-art textbook that provides an outstanding introduction to the central themes of British politics, covering everything from the design of political institutions to debates over key ideas, alongside the critical events that have transformed the politics of the UK in recent decades from the financial crash to Brexit. The uniquely historical perspective is invaluable, demonstrating why past events continue to shape contemporary politics, and how traditions still influence how politicians and political parties respond to the changes occurring around them in a fast-paced world.
An authoritative and accessible guide to contemporary British politics. Combining historical insight with sharp analysis, the book equips readers to understand the institutions, ideas and events that shape political life in the United Kingdom. At a time when the fast pace of British politics can make developments difficult to follow, this is an invaluable resource for students, scholars and interested readers alike.
The textbook is a must-have for students of British politics covering the range of essential structures, processes, actors, norms and ideas that shape the UK's political landscape. Its clarity, comprehensiveness and wealth of illustrative examples make it a valuable up-to-date asset for anyone who wants to learn and understand how the UK is governed.
Griffiths and Leach provide an informative, accessible and comprehensive view of British politics. Casting one eye back to the relevant historic events of British politics, this book explains and analyses the current landscape while considering the future.
This is an essential, timely, analytical overview of the key components of British Politics and the state. At a time of great and increasing turbulence for the once stable political and institutional norms within British Politics, the transformation from a moderate two-party state to a more populist five-party state applies significant pressure on the parties, institutions, and practices. Griffiths and Leach bring their impressive expertise to each covered aspect of British Politics through a relaxed and inclusive writing style that appeals to modern students and scholars alike.
