The first introductory UK politics textbook to publish since Brexit and the start of the Covid-19 pandemic, this book combines foundational understanding and critical perspectives to provide a clear overview of the UK political system.

UK Politics takes a contextual and historical approach to teaching. The chapters, written in an accessible and approachable style, introduce students to the core processes, institutions, power struggles, and trends that characterise UK politics today. The in-chapter features also foster key skills including engagement with primary sources, thinking critically about claims, and the development of debates.

Through careful explanation, case studies, extracts, and thoughtful questions, UK Politics helps students answer the questions 'what's going on?', 'how should it work (and how does it actually)?' and 'how did we get here?
