Each chapter is enriched by recent real-life case studies and boxes illustrating key arguments, concepts and empirical developments. Taking into account the 2010 election and beyond, the book addresses current issues, developments and debates.
The result is a contemporary and engaging text that will be required reading for all students of British politics, public policy and public administration.
