Postwar British Politics in Perspective by David Marsh

This broad-ranging and original text provides an accessible introduction to British politics since 1945, challenging many well-established orthodoxies.
"This is an iconoclastic book, which challenges established interpretations of British politics since 1945 and develops its own powerful new approach to understanding social and political changeIt deserves to be widely read." Andrew Gamble, University of Sheffield


"The authors present a powerful new theoretical and methodological approach to postwar British politics. Combining theoretical argument and judiciously chosen case studies, their new textbook will surely stimulate interest in critical realism and its broader relevance to political analysis." Bob Jessop, Lancaster University


"Postwar British Politicsin Perspective provides an authoritative, theoretically informed and eye-catching reinterpretation of British political development. Historically grounded and yet urgently contemporary in its treatment of themes such as UK-EU relations and the domestic consequences of globalization, the book should be required reading for specialists, students and anyone interested in British politics. It is a book that punctures much of the conventional wisdom and replaces it with an uncommonly astute and comprehensive alternative." Joel Krieger, Wellesley College, Massachusetts
"It may interest advanced graduate students and specialists in the field." M. Curtis Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey, New Brunswick
