Description: Further DetailsTitle: The British Prime Minister in an Age of UpheavalCondition: NewEAN: 9781509539352ISBN: 9781509539352Publisher: Polity PressFormat: HardbackRelease Date: 03/19/2021Description: In this timely book, Mark Garnett provides a bracing reassessment of the role of the British Prime Minister, from Margaret Thatcher’s controversial tenure to Boris Johnson’s attempt to confront a pandemic with a ministerial team created to face the very different challenge of Brexit. Taking a thematic approach, Garnett explores the impact of major political developments and personalities on key aspects of prime ministerial functions as party leader, Cabinet-maker, chief diplomat and electoral talisman. Much of the controversy over the position of Prime Minister, he concludes, arises from a confusion between the occupant’s inescapable political prominence and his or her – often limited – ability to achieve positive policy outcomes. With both David Cameron and Theresa May forced to resign since 2016, the book questions whether the nature of the job has become a deterrent for politicians who are motivated by a desire to serve the British public, opening the way for individuals with much less laudable motivations.Language: EnglishCountry/Region of Manufacture: GBItem Height: 250mmItem Length: 151mmItem Width: 26mmItem Weight: 552gGenre: Law & PoliticsAuthor: Mark GarnettRelease Year: 2021 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
