A major European power, a leading voice in world affairs, birthplace of
the parliamentary system, the pioneer of industrialization, and a
dominating influence on Western culture, British society has shaped
the world and continues to do so, even as today it finds itself adapting
to a new globalized order.
In this completely revised and updated second edition of Contemporary
Britain, best-selling author John McCormick provides an authoritative
and thought-provoking introduction to British society, geography,
politics and culture, discussing the evolution of economic and social
policy, and Britain s new place in Europe and the world.
Its major theme is change and the often dramatic upheavals that Britain
has undergone, from reconstruction after the Second World War through
the legacies of Thatcher and Blair to today s challenges of multiculturalism
and integration with the rest of Europe. Rejecting the thesis of decline,
it argues that Britain has become a more successful society whose
citizens are looking less at the past and more at present challenges and
future possibilities. Assuming no prior knowledge and illustrated
throughout with figures and tables, boxes focusing on key issues, and
an extensive guide to further reading and relevant websites,
Contemporary Britain is the ¡deal starting point for students and
interested general readers alike.
