                      Main Description:
                      Developments in British Politics 6 is a completely new book designed to continue the tradition of
                      authoritative, up-to-date and theoretically informed analysis established by its predecessors. It is
                      the first book to focus centrally throughout on the extent to which globalization, devolution and the
                      impact of European integration have made multi-level governance a central characteristic of UK
                      politics.
