Críticas:

Review from previous edition Just as there is a growing desire, especially in the United States, that we broaden our effective approaches to the study of politics, we are fortunate that this brilliantly edited set of essays on the British tradition by their leading theorists and analysts has appeared. An excellent addition to any University library and to any graduate introduction to political science. (Alfred Stepah, Wallace A. Sayre Professor of Government, Columbia University)

This encyclopedic assessment of the contributions of twentieth century British students of politics is, like a fine travelogue, a pleasure to read and enlightening as well. It should be of interest to scholars well beyond the shores of Britain. (Professor Robert Putnam, Malkin Professor of Public Policy, Harvard University)

The most certain recommendation I can make is that this is an excellent book for insiders, very valuable for young academics, graduate students and final-year undergraduates contemplating graduate work ... an impressive and useful work of scholarship. (Anthony H. Birch, Government and Opposition)

A rich source for reflecting on how the discipline has evolved, what it is and where it is going. (Andrew Gamble, Times Higher Education Supplement)

This book is a testament to the advances made in the study of politics in Britain, particularly in the last four decades ... [It] is a gem from several perspectives and an excellent way to obtain a background on the professional development of political science in Britain... (T.P. Wolf, British Politics Group Newsletter (of the American Political Science Association).)

Reseña del editor:

The distinctive strength of political science in Britain is revealed in this indispensable guide to modern British scholarship in the field. As well as charting the development of the discipline, the essays examine the innovative contributions to the study of nationalism, totalitarianism and authoritarianism and the influential British approach to international relations. The fourteen distinguished authors have provided a major contribution to our understanding of the contemporary state of political science.
