(Paperback)

The issues which this book explores are central to an understanding of the development of the twentieth century Conservative party, the emergence of a 'national' political culture, and the problems, both organisational and ideological, of a sustained period of coalition in the British parliamentary system.

(Hardback)

This edited collection provides a uniquely expansive history of how corruption has undermined and exercised public life in modern Britain, from the mid-eighteenth century to the mid-twentieth. It provides the first account that pays equal attention to the successes and limitations of anticorruption reforms, and shifting meanings of corruption.
