基本説明
The authors provide a radical challenge to traditional accounts of British politics, such as the Westminster model, and instead offer an highly original interpretive approach.
Full Description
How is Britain governed? Have we entered a new era of governance? Can traditional approaches to governance help us to interpret 21st century Britain?
This book develops the argument that we can understand political practices only by grasping the beliefs on which people act. It offers a governance narrative as a challenge to the Westminster model of British government and searches for a more accurate and open way of speaking about British government.
