Politics and Governance in the UK provides a comprehensive introduction to twenty-first century British politics. The multi-level character of government is fully reflected in the content and structure of the book and this new edition takes particular account of the increasingly regulatory nature of the British state. Extensively revised throughout and taking account of the 2015 General Election, the Scottish independence referendum and changing relations with the European Union, the third edition provides an up-to-date examination of the British political landscape. Written with clarity and a consistent style, this text takes full account of the range of theoretical approaches used in the study of British politics as well as of the actors and institutions involved in contemporary governance. Particular attention is paid to integrating the illustrative material with the surrounding text. This material:• illuminates key issues, processes and events• documents what the state and governing institutions actually do• provides an insight, illustrated by cartoons and numerous other images, into the human face of politics.
