Synopses & Reviews
Geographers and other social scientists join political scientists to analyze recent trends and events, pivoting on the key themes of electoral reform, partisanship and voting, parliamentary behavior, and the attitudes of the young. The two hottest topics of course are the landslide victory of New Labour and the successful devolution votes in Scotland and Wales. A reference section includes a chronology and other useful information, but no index. The 12 papers were first presented to a September 1998 conference in Manchester.
