For a state traditionally characterised by the stability and continuity of its political institutions, the United Kingdom has undergone a remarkable period of rapid institutional change in recent times. This title monitors these changes and provides the most comprehensive, up-to-date analysis of the major institutions at work in the United Kingdom in the 21st century. It provides an accessible and detailed account of how political institutions work, and also encourages students to consider how institutions can be conceived - and institutional development located - within broader patterns of social, political and economic change and developing inter-institutional interactions. The book offers fresh perspectives on the UK's political system, derived from a detailed understanding of the structures and norms of major political institutions.

This book provides an excellent insight into the theory and practice of political representation, a concept that is central to the understanding of modern British politics. The book explores the key elements of representation and the inextricable connections between theory and the unique British representative tradition. Using extensive contemporary examples and key theorists, this book will be essential reading for students of British politics.

First Published in 1993. A Green Dimension for the European Community is a collection of nine essays from a range of contributors, separated into two parts: political issues and processes. The theme discusses the idea that the introduction of the 'Single Market' marks a particularly appropriate time to consider the political issues and processes affecting environmental policy in the European Community (EC). The contributors argue that, at such a time, and in the face of such threats, an understanding of the 'green dimension' of the EC is more than an academic exercise. This title concludes with a comprehensive index.
