This book provides an accessible and engaging introduction to British political history, by exploring 12 key crises from the early 20th century to the modern day. Taking each crisis in turn, chapters investigate the following crucial questions:
• What’s at stake in the crisis?
• Who was able to frame and shape the debates and narratives around the crisis?
• How was the crisis eventually resolved?
Developing a nuanced account of crisis, the book shows how narrations of events as crises can be used to promote particular political changes. Taken together the crises will familiarise readers with key themes in British politics and the events that have shaped the current shape of politics within the UK.
Christopher Kirkland is Senior Lecturer in Politics at York St John University, UK.
