Klappentext zu „The Oxford Handbook of British Politics “
The study of British politics has been reinvigorated in recent years as a generation of new scholars seeks to build-upon a distinct disciplinary heritage while also exploring new empirical territory and finds much support and encouragement from previous generations in forging new grounds in relation to theory and methods. It is in this context that The Oxford Handbook of British Politics has been conceived. The central ambition of the Handbook isnot just to illustrate both the breadth and depth of scholarship that is to be found within the field. It also seeks to demonstrate the vibrancy and critical self-reflection that has cultivated a much sharper and engaging, and notably less insular, approach to the terrain it seeks to explore and understand. In this
emphasis on critical engagement, disciplinary evolution, and a commitment to shaping rather than re-stating the discipline The Oxford Handbook of British Politics is consciously distinctive.
In showcasing the diversity now found in the analysis of British politics, the Handbook is built upon three foundations. The first principle that underpins the volume is a broad understanding of 'the political'. It covers a much broader range of topics, themes and issues than would commonly be found within a book on British politics. This emphasis on an inclusive approach also characterises the second principle that has shaped this collection - namely, diversity in relation to
commissioned authors. The final principle focuses on the distinctiveness of the study of British politics. Each chapter seeks to reflect on what is distinctive- both in terms of the empirical nature of the issue of concern, and the theories and methods that have been deployed to unravel the nature and causes of the
debate. The result is a unique volume that: draws-upon the intellectual strengths of the study of British politics; reflects the innate diversity and inclusiveness of the discipline; isolates certain distinctive issues and then

reflects on their broader international relevance; and finally looks to the future by pointing towards emerging or overlooked areas of research.

Rezension zu „The Oxford Handbook of British Politics “
British politics was long feted and later neglected as an idiosyncratic system of dwindling significance in liberal democratic politics. Now, after a series of sweeping constitutional transformations this impressive Handbook reveals a UK politics that is increasingly part of the European and democratic mainstreams once again. In place of the tired partisan verities of conventional British political analysis, the authors offer much stronger modern political science accounts. Professor Patrick Dunleavy, London School of Economics and Political Science This is a book anyone seriously interested in the study of British politics should have on their bookshelf. It covers a large array of subjects, thus widening the scope of what is studied as British politics. David Marsh, Political Studies Review
