内容説明

This study of British politics has been specially designed for A-level courses in the subject, but may also serve as an introduction for undergraduates. It offers an analysis of the major sectors of British politics - the constitution, the international and social context of British politics, the electoral system, parties and the party system, pressure groups, the politics of mass communication, the Monarchy, Parliament, the office of Prime Minister, the cabinet system, the Civil Service, and local government.
