It does so without compromising on historical context or failing to mention the key debates in each topic. I recommend it to any student looking for a short but 7 wide-ranging book to give them a thorough grounding in British 1 0 politics.’ - Professor Daniel Stevens, University of Exeter, UK 2 h c ‘Bill Jones has produced yet another clear and concise introductory r a M text on British politics. Whilst condensed, this book provides a 1 coherent foundational knowledge of the discipline and, as such, 3 promises to be a popular choice amongst undergraduate students 3 1 in particular.’ - Dr Oliver Harrison, Nottingham Trent University, UK : 6 1 t a ] o g e i D n a S , a i n r o f i l a C f o y t i s r e v i n U [ y b d e d a o l n w o D 7 1 0 2 h c r a M 1 3 3 1 : 6 1 t a ] o g e i D n a S a, i n r o f i l a C f o y t i s r e v i n U [ y b d e d a o l n w o D BRITISH POLITICS 7 1 0 2 h c THE BASICS r a M 1 3 3 1 : 6 1 t a ] o g e i D n a Over the last two decades British politics has undergone a remarkable S , transformation. While some components of the system have been a i eroded, such as voter turnout and membership of the big parties, n or other parts have flourished, such as nationalist parties, the insurgent f i UKIP, as well as the new media. l a C British Politics: The Basics analyses these changes and places them of within the context of the evolution of British society from absolute y monarchy to representative democracy. It considers each of the major t si components of British politics, such as the monarchy and the House of r ve Lords, the Commons, voting behaviour, parties and pressure groups, i n the prime minister and cabinet, devolution, local government, and U [ foreign policy. Its contents include coverage of recent events such as y the Scottish Referendum and the 2015 General Election. b d This readable and comprehensive introduction will be of key e d interest to A-level students, undergraduates and those new to the a o study of British politics. l n w o Bill Jones was formerly Director of Extra-Mural Studies at D Manchester University 1986–91, Professor of Politics and History at Liverpool Hope University, UK, and is now Senior Honorary Research Fellow at the same university.
