Debates in British Politics Today

This book examines a range of current debates in British politics based around topics such as the constitution, government, and democracy. The contents focus directly on the dynamics of political argument in order to reveal how rival politicians and political scientists practice their persuasive art. Each contributor explores a disputed viewpoint, the case for and the case against, to show how differences of attitude and ideology structure the contemporary debate in current political issues like European integration, law and order, referendums, and devolution.
