- What caused the increased turbulence of British Politics in recent- How do policy blunders occur and why?- Why did Brexit happen, and what is the future of the UK-EU relationship?- How powerful are political parties in British Politics?- How is British politics shaped by variation and differentiation, especially across the nations of the UK?British Politics answers these fundamental questions, putting political science and public policy at its core to provide an analytical approach to British politics. The book's three-part structure is designed to help students make sense of the British political system. Part A covers constitutional and institutional foundations: the formal set of politics, laws, procedures, and customs which make up the distinctive features of the political system. In Part B, political behaviour and citizenship is explored, looking at politics from the view of the everyday citizen by examining political parties and the media. Finally, part C looks at how power and authority is dispersed through agencies, devolved powers, and international bodies. Overall, this gives students a thorough and rigorous introduction to the nature of British democracy in the twenty-first century. British Politics has a unique, sophisticated style, bringing together case studies, cutting-edge analysis, and comparative insights to make it essential reading for all students of British Politics.
