An Introduction to UK Politics highlights central concerns facing British politics today, from ongoing colonial legacies to Britain’s inequality and the impact of decades of austerity. Spotlighted throughout are timely examples and latest research, drawing on topics spanning policy responses to climate change and the role of social class in educational outcomes; to the latest calls for increased devolution and shifting public opinion on UK Foreign Policy.     This textbook is packed with features, including:    ·       Case Studies to encourage critical thinking by presenting different perspectives on key events.    ·       Theory Boxes which explore concepts in action.    ·       Spotlight on Research showcases seminal and controversial publications to spark debate.    ·       Annotated Reading Lists guide students to further readings.    Unique to this text is a central focus on the role identities and inequalities play in contemporary British Politics. It offers students the tools to conduct analysis into the shifting dynamics in this major new action-focused, problem-based, and engaging introduction. And centrally, the book offers a compelling call to action – that is how we all have the capacity to shape British politics every day.
