Rezension

Introduction to British Politics has established itself asone of the most original and challenging texts on British politicsbecause it starts from the question of power and the nature of theBritish state, and in doing so offers a fresh and illuminatingperspective on many of the problems and issues of British politics.This new edition builds on its predecessors. Particular highlightsinclude its analysis of the challenging constitution, the rise ofNew Labour, and the impact of globalization. Andrew Gamble,University of Sheffield

Introduction to British Politics is an old favourite.The second edition was welcomed in the summer 1992 issue of TalkingPolitics ... [and] the third edition more than confirms this warmrecommendation ... All readers should have a copy. TalkingPolitics

Most of the modern texts disavow a precise theme ... but herewe are offered a theme: who really runs Britain? ParliamentaryAffairs

Superb undergraduate textbook. Politico sBookshop

For students of home affiars, the latest edition of Introduction to British Politics by John Dearlove and PeterSaunders, is as good a book on the subject as you re ever likely tofind. Mark Perryman, New Statesman
