* Accessible, concise introduction to a wide-ranging, complex subject * Author well known in both scholarly and political circles: former Junior Minister; now a sometimes outspoken critic of government policy* Written by a former academic who is now a Labour MP, bringing illustrative experience as well as theoretical and historical expertise* Fluent, thoughtful and prolific writer* Focuses on what makes British politics distinctive, and its likely future directionTony Wright's Very Short Introduction to British Politics is an interpretative essay on the British political system, rather than merely an abbreviated textbook on how it currently works. He identifies key characteristics and ideas of the British tradition, and investigates what makes British politics distinctive, while emphasizing throughout the book how these characteristics are reflected in the way the political system actually functions. Each chapter is organized around a key theme, such as the constitution or political accountability, which is first established and then explored with examples and illustrations. This in turn provides a perspective for a discussion of how the system is changing, looking in particular at devolution and Britain's place in Europe.Readership: General readers interested in politics, historical or contemporary, or the British political system; students of politics, political systems and government, and political history.1.: The Britishness of British Politics2.: The Political Constitution3.: Ideology--and After4.: Governing: The Strong Centre5.: Representing: Party Rules OK6.: Accounting: Heckling the Steamroller7.: New Wine, Old Bottles8.: The End of British Politics?
