Adopting a pluralistic perspective, this exploration of the accountability of the core executive is clearly grounded in research methodology, thus ensuring the book makes a valid, incisive contribution to the literature. Features include: - A detailed study of the location of power and mechanisms of accountability in modern government which challenges the largely prosaic existing literature - Useful summaries of the key tensions and trends within constitutional infrastructure - A new and refreshing approach to the study of central government - Insightful critiques of major governmental policies This intriguing volume will be of interest to undergraduates, post-graduates and lecturers for courses on legislative studies, central government reform, public administration, British politics and research methods.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Matthew Flinders\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1138631000\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781138631007\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/31\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 456\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback","brand":"Matthew Flinders","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48438152134911,"sku":"9781138631007","price":48.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_f406c1fe-b9ed-45ad-8355-58c6d52bbcc3.jpg?v=1777169167","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-politics-of-accountability-in-matthew-flinders-9781138631007","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
