About this book
Contributors to this Hansard Society/Palgrave volume consider how British government and politics changed as Tony Blair gave way to Gordon Brown. Gordon at the Helm looks at a range of factors under Brown such as public opinion, party and opposition politics, British government and administration, public policy, local government and foreign policy.
Reviews
Reviews of previous edition:
'This impressive and comprehensive edited collection of essays is a welcome addition to the existing material concerning the study of British politics. It provides an almost up-to-the-minute analysis of all the significant political high and low points to occur during 2006. This is a very important and accessible book.' Brian Davies, Political Studies Review
'An important book that will influence and stimulate debate on this crucial topic. It is highly recommended.' Michael Connolly, Public Administration
