This is the long-awaited third edition of Dearlove and Saunders'
highly acclaimed, best-selling, textbook on British politics. The
book has been completely rewritten, reorganized and updated, while
retaining the distinctive style and approach of the earlier
editions. At root, this book is about political power - how it is
organized formally within the State and how it is exercised and
influenced informally from outside. Written in lively and
provocative prose, the volume presents the most systematic and
penetrating analysis of who really runs Britain, to what end, and
to whose advantage.
Fully up to date, this new edition provides comprehensive
coverage of the issues of the day - constitutional change, welfare
reform, New Labour's Third Way, the European common currency,
globalization, and much more. The volume also provides students
with a highly readable and engaging guide to the key theoretical
perspectives that have shaped the study of British politics.
This outstanding volume will prove invaluable reading for all
students of British politics, whether they are studying for A-level
or undergraduate university courses.
