British Politics in the 21st Century

Fourth Edition

By Gillian Peele

This well-established text provides students with a thorough understanding of the machinery and processes of government in the United Kingdom as well as of the forces shaping the country's politics.

For the fourth edition the text has been substantially updated to take account of the many significant shifts in British politics since 1997, especially the constitutional reforms of the 1997 Labour government.
