The book is well-written and comprehensive in its coverage. It provides an excellent introduction to the subject.' - Dr Robert Borthwick, University of Leicester, UK 'Just right for anyone wanting an up-to-date, compact and wide-ranging description n of how we are governed, why, and how politics influences government.' - George Jones, Emeritus Professor of Government, London School of Economics and Political Science, UK
