Political Ideology in Britain

Description

As well as introducing the 'mainstream' ideologies of Liberalism, Conservatism and Socialism, this text also examines challenges from nationalists, feminists and Green thinkers, and the ideological controversy surrounding multiculturalism. It concludes by reviewing the prospects for ideology in an increasingly depoliticised Britain.

ROBERT LEACH was Principal Lecturer at Leeds Metropolitan University, UK, where he is now Visiting Reader. He is also the author of The Politics Companion and, with Jane Percy-Smith, of Local Governance in Britain.
