NEW BRITISH POLITICS 4th EDITION
The New British Politics is one of the most comprehensive and successful introductions to British politics ever published. Now available in a fully revised and updated fourth edition, this clear, lively and authoritative text continues to provide readers with all they might need to shape and supplement their studies. Written by internationally-known specialists from the top politics department in the UK, the book combines incisive and original analysis with direct presentation, specially tailored to the needs of lecturers, teachers and students of British politics from A-level to second year university.
The new edition consolidates the strengths of the original text through: -
The New British Politics has an innovative design to enhance teaching and learning. Each chapter starts with a preview and ends with a summary of the discussion. This is consolidated through a summary table of important events in the field (Milestones). Briefings in each chapter provide an easy way for gaining an in-depth background to the general discussion. Key terms are defined in the margins. Projects and essays are suggested at the end of each chapter. These form a basis for class exercises and a focus for summary revision. There are annotated guides to further reading and useful websites.
The book’s own companion website provides examples of good and bad essay writing, updates on political events, projects, essays and statistical data sets – all designed to stimulate ideas and discussion. Lively cartoons and photographs illustrate and enliven textual discussion.
