"A truly comprehensive and authoritative guide on British politics written by some of the most astute commentators and political scientists on the subject. Up to date, well written, great for students starting out and useful for old hands wanting to check their facts."
Keith Dowding, Australian National University, Australia
"Politics UK provides a solid foundation on the key concepts and themes of British politics for undergraduate students at an American university. My students often begin their course with a cursory knowledge of British politics and thus I need a textbook that immerses them without overwhelming them and Politics UK delivers exactly that. The material within each chapter of this edited volume provides the most substantial overview of British politics available while remaining accessible to students new to the subject. Of particular note are the inclusion of numerous charts, tables, figures and photographs that let my students 'see' British politics. In terms of comprehensive coverage, appropriate level of writing, helpful supplemental material and timely coverage of contemporary events, there is no better textbook on the market."
Neal Glen Jesse, Bowling Green State University, USA

Politics UK has long been the definitive book for Politics A-level and first year undergraduate students. This latest edition is better than ever, in terms of its breadth of topics, the quality of contributions and the standing of contributors. Politics UK is essential reading for anyone seeking clarity on how our political system works.
