The Reordering of British Politics: Politics After Thatcher - Tapa dura

This text clarifies for the new student the terrain of British politics today. Building on Dennis Kavanagh's work "Thatcherism and British Politics: The End of Consensus?", this book assesses the influence of the Thatcher era and the reordering of British politics that has occurred in her wake. Covering the transition to Majorism and the impact of John Major on the Conservative Party and British politics, it also tracks the development of a new consensus in post-Thatcher and post-Socialism Britain, and the evolution of Labour without Socialism.

Professor Dennis Kavanagh is Professor of Politics, Department of Communication Studies, University of Liverpool. He is the author of various textbooks, including British Politics: Continuities and Change (OUP, third edition 1996), and numerous books and articles on UK politics and current affairs.
