Overview
Assembling essays on contemporary debates and future issues in politics, this volume focuses on political developments in UK, European and international issues, and modern theoretical debates and problems. The collection presents a range of accounts that deal with some of the most delicate, complex and fundamental issues that affect people living in Western Europe in the twenty-first century.Synopsis
This collection of 11 essays, presented by Morland and Cowling (both of the U. of Teesside, UK) samples a range of political issues that they feel will remain prominent in the foreseeable future, generally maintaining a focus on those that will affect the United Kingdom, although those contributions of a more theoretical nature can be read from a more global standpoint. Topics include the state of political philosophy, technology and surveillance, New Labour and ideological politics, the politics of Northern Ireland, regionalism as a response to globalization, the political economy of the monetary union, the changing status of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization, and globalization and Third World poverty.
