Politics UK de Bill Jones

Politics UK

Editat de Bill Jones, Philip Norton, Isabelle Hertner
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 29 iul 2021

Evoluția peisajului politic britanic din ultimii ani, marcată de Brexit, schimbări de leadership la nivel de vârf și provocări globale fără precedent, a impus o recalibrare a modului în care studiem guvernanța. Notăm cu interes că Politics UK, ajuns acum la a 11-a ediție, reușește să capteze această transformare radicală prin actualizări care depășesc simpla revizuire factuală. Descoperim aici o analiză profundă a mandatului lui Johnson, a gestionării crizei Covid-19 și a noii poziții a Regatului Unit într-o lume post-Brexit, elemente care devin fundamentale pentru înțelegerea curriculei de științe politice contemporane.

Comparabil cu British Politics de Simon Griffiths în rigurozitate, acest volum se distinge prin gradul de actualizare a temelor de nișă, introducând capitole esențiale despre elitele britanice și politicile de imigrare într-un mediu politic tot mai polarizat. Structura cărții, împărțită în cinci mari secțiuni — Context, Definirea lumii politice, Procesul reprezentativ, Procesul legislativ și Procesul executiv — ghidează cititorul de la fundamentele ideologice ale partidelor majore până la mecanismele subtile ale Casei Comunelor și rolul Coroanei.

Putem afirma că forța acestui manual rezidă în echilibrul dintre rigoarea academică și perspectiva practică. Includerea secțiunilor de tip „And another thing…”, semnate de experți precum Sir John Curtice, oferă o dinamică jurnalistică necesară într-un volum de peste 800 de pagini. Față de edițiile anterioare coordonate de Bill Jones și Philip Norton, această iterație pune un accent mult mai mare pe tensiunile constituționale și pe impactul noilor tehnologii (precum fenomenul „fake news”) asupra comunicării politice, reflectând astfel maturitatea operei editoriale a autorilor în acest domeniu vast.

Descriere scurtă

This revised and updated tenth edition of the bestselling textbook Politics UK is an indispensable introduction to British politics. It provides a thorough and accessible overview of the institutions and processes of British government, an excellent grounding in British political history and an incisive introduction to the issues and challenges facing Britain today.
This edition welcomes three brand new chapters - ‘Elites in the United Kingdom’, 'Gender and British politics' and 'UK Immigration policy in hostile environment' -  alongside rigorously updated revised chapters. It delivers excellent coverage of contemporary events, with significant new material covering: the Johnson premiership and the national challenge of Covid-19, the end of the May premiership and the implementation of Brexit, the Labour Party’s transition from Corbyn to Starmer, infrastructure and innovation, 'fake news', populism and nationalism, the UK’s place in a post-Brexit world, climate change, social mobility and elite recruitment, devolution and regionalism, constitutional strain, the role of political advisers, abuse and incivility in politics and much more.
Other features of the new edition include:
  • A wide range of illustrative material, boxes and case studies providing illuminating examples alongside the analysis.
  • A comprehensive ‘who’s who’ of politics in the form of Profile boxes featuring key political figures.
  • And another thing . . . pieces containing short articles on salient and pressing topics, written by distinguished commentators including Sir John Curtice, Sir Simon Jenkins, Andrew Rawnsley, Baroness Julie Smith of Newnham, and Philip Collins.
  • Online interviews on the book’s website see notable figures from British political life discussing the pressing issues of today.
With chapters written by highly respected scholars in the field and contemporary articles on real-world politics from well-known political commentators, this textbook is an essential guide for all students of British politics.

Recenzii

"A truly comprehensive and authoritative guide on British politics written by some of the most astute commentators and political scientists on the subject. Up to date, well written, great for students starting out and useful for old hands wanting to check their facts."
Keith Dowding, Australian National University, Australia
"Politics UK provides a solid foundation on the key concepts and themes of British politics for undergraduate students at an American university. My students often begin their course with a cursory knowledge of British politics and thus I need a textbook that immerses them without overwhelming them— and Politics UK delivers exactly that. The material within each chapter of this edited volume provides the most substantial overview of British politics available while remaining accessible to students new to the subject. Of particular note are the inclusion of numerous charts, tables, figures and photographs that let my students 'see' British politics. In terms of comprehensive coverage, appropriate level of writing, helpful supplemental material and timely coverage of contemporary events, there is no better textbook on the market."
Neal Glen Jesse, Bowling Green State University, USA
"Politics UK provides a thorough introduction to the main topics in political science and guides the reader through these topics in a way that is critical, clear and approachable."
Nora Siklodi, University of Portsmouth, UK
"It’s great to see the new edition of Politics UK. It is an excellent textbook and a super entry point to understanding more about British Politics. I love the way that the ‘and another thing’ sections bring stories that make the more academic material come alive. The updates are well addressed and it’s great to see the new material in the Representative process, updating the textbook with regards to contemporary concerns."
Joanie Willet, University of Exeter, UK
