Developments in British Politics 8 continues its tradition of providing accessible state-of-the-art coverage, but with a new editorial team and a new set of chapters by leading authorities. A new feature is a set of chapters providing wide ranging analysis of key debates and thoughts about British politics after Tony Blair.
'This is a book of the first rank, full of contributions that are authoritative and well written. This is an essential text for anyone wanting to understand New Labour's approach to constitutional reform.' - Michael Cole, Political Studies

[U]ndoubtedly provides the best textbook for undergraduates.' - Martin J. Smith, British Journal of Politics and International Relations
'This series goes from strength to strength...[W]ell written and carefully edited... [A] very informative and stimulating volume with an excellent bibliography and guides to further reading.' - Michael Rush, Political Studies

'Impressive not only for the strong field of scholars involved in the project, but also the range of issues covered...There is no doubt that this latest edition upholds the high standard of the series...Essential reading for students of British politics at all levels and should have pride of place on their bookshelves.' - Robin T.
