内容説明

Examines the politics and structure of British Government. Updated to incorporate the dramatic changes that have occured since the previous edition in 1991, this text covers the replacement of Margaret Thatcher with John Major as Prime Minister, the Gulf War, the Maastricht Treaty, the withdrawal of the UK from the ERM and threatened closure of coal mines. It takes a comparitive approach with the aim of placing British politics in a wider context; and maintains theme of previous editions of continuity and change, arguing that contemporary British policies can only be explained in the context of notable continuity of values and institutions.
