  This ninth edition continues to provide a comprehensive and up-to-date account of British political institutions, the way in which they operate, and what they reveal of the society in which they have developed. The book examines the political developments of the 1990s in the context of the underlying institutional structure of government. At the same time Professor Birch never loses sight of the role of people, as political actors pursuing their objectives and facing problems: economic, social and diplomatic. The ninth edition has been extensively revised, featuring a new chapter on the European Community.
