Reference, Political Science, General, Schools & Teaching 

Suitable both for class use and for individual reading, this text on British politics is designed to encourage an active response from the reader and for ease of selective study - for example, of particular documents or exercises. This edition has been written to meet the needs of students in A-Level courses and in universities and colleges, as well as courses of general interest in further and adult education. The book has been brought up to date with a new treatment of topics of recent interest and concern, including the European Community, "sub-central" government, and the courts and the citizen, and an expanded treatment of political culture, the media, departments of state, and policy-making. The exposition and analysis is interwoven with documents and exercises, and each chapter concludes with a guide to exercises, some short assessments of issues raised, definitions of concepts, and further case material. - from Amzon
