The election of New Labour in 1997 closes a long chapter in British political history. At this moment of dramatic change, this book combines an incisive thematic discussion of all the key policy areas with succinct overviews of British governments since 1945, the rise and fall of consensus politics and ideological perspectives on recent British history. Extensive use has been made of illustrative material, including photographs, cartoons, graphs, tables and exhibits. Written by the authors of the best-selling Contemporary British Politics.

This replacement volume for Governing in the UK in the 1990s brings together specially-commissioned chapters by leading authorities to form an accessible and comprehensive introductory text. The legacy of eighteen years of Conservative Government is fully analysed and the agenda and impact of New Labour stringently evaluated. This stimulating book will inform and guide students on the state of governance in the UK at the start of the new millennium.
