About this title

Review:

This is a very readable and well-edited book that provides a comprehensive and sometimes entertaining account of politics at Oxford. It represents an important contribution to the small but growing literature on the history of political science in Britain. (Wyn Grant, Political Studies Review)

This book analyses the growth of the academic discipline of politics and international relations at Oxford University over the last 100 years ... a very readable and well-edited book that provides a comprehensive and sometimes entertaining account of politics at Oxford. It represents an important contribution to the small but growing literature on the history of political science in Britain. (Wyn Grant, University of Warwick, Political Studies Review)

this is an important volume which should be read by those who are interested in the development of political studies in the UK. It will also appeal to those who are interested in the development of higher education in general and the University of Oxford in particular. (John Craig, The Higher Education Academy, York, Political Studies Review)
