In this completely revised and updated second edition of Contemporary Britain,best-selling author John McCormick provides an authoritative and thoughtprovoking introduction to British society, geography, politics and culture,discussing the evolution of economic and social policy, and Britain' s new place in Europe and the world. Its major theme is change and the often dramatic upheavals that Britain hasundergone, from reconstruction after the Second World War through the legaciesof Thatcher and Blair to today' s challenges of multiculturalism and integrationwith the rest of Europe. Rejecting the thesis of decline, it argues that Britainhas become a more successful society whose citizens are looking less at thepast and more at present challenges and future possibilities.
