This course explores the wider themes challenging UK politics. It begins by exploring how the British see themselves, locating this in the crucible of the post-War world. It explores British political culture and how this is shaped by the media - including the tabloid newspapers. The course then explores leadership in British politics, with case studies of charismatic leaders such as Thatcher and Blair. We will explore identity politics and populism, and the rise of a sentiment of anti-politics. Finally, we will look at Britain’s changing place in the world, and how this will shape the country’s future.
