British Politics: Continuities and Change - Softcover
This comprehensive and up-to-date volume not only looks at the familiar issues of British politics and government--Cabinet, Parliament, parties local government, and pressure groups--but also at those that are less frequently explored-- political culture, corporatism, the mass media, political recruitment, and the politics of economic decline. The book analyzes both the underlying trends and the political changes of the 1970's and 1980's. For example, Kavanagh considers the changing nature of Britain's party system, the growing tensions between local and central government, the changing power of the trade unions, and Margaret Thatcher's impact on the role of Prime Minister. The book concludes with a stimulating discussion of the distribution of power in Britain.

Review:
British Politics 5e is the best textbook I've seen at engaging with current research in a cutting edge way and including summaries of major articles and books. Students sometimes find it easier to engage with these summaries instead of the theory itself. The book has a feeling of quality and substance. (Dr Richard Grayson, Head of Politics, Goldsmiths, University of London)
An excellent introduction to the core themes and issues involved in the study of British politics. Interesting, engaging, and comprehensively thorough. (Dr. Steven Kettell, Department of Politics and International Relations, University of Warwick)
