It traces how the party's political agenda has become increasingly dominated by populist and nativist policy positions since the UK's withdrawal from the European Union in 2016, and the ways in which this has led to growing concerns over democratic backsliding.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMoving beyond debates over the ideology and governing philosophy of the Conservative Party, this book focuses on the specific policy tools it has employed to carry out its political agenda. This includes changes to public spending and taxation, law and regulation, public management, and institutional reform. Bridging the gap between populism studies, UK politics and public policy, the book throws important light on the current state of British democracy, at a time when concerns over the growth of illiberalism and authoritarianism in democratic countries is high. \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Sean Kippin\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 3031746457\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783031746451\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Palgrave MacMillan\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/07\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 148\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover","brand":"Sean Kippin","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":46465867743487,"sku":"9783031746451","price":44.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_75065d5c-880d-4121-899d-5414112fa594.jpg?v=1736347517","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/public-policy-and-democratic-backsliding-sean-kippin-9783031746451","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
