Abstract

The approach to the study of government has altered very considerably in the last few decades. On the one hand, there is much less of a tendency to attempt to study government separately from politics; on the other hand, there is very much less exclusive reliance on purely descriptive or historical approaches, and much greater use of other methods. An excellent general introduction is S. E. Finer's Comparative Government. General treatments will be found in A. H. Birch, The British System of Government and F. Stacey, The Government of Modern Britain. An account of proposals for procedural changes will be found in Parliamentary Reform, 1933-60, published by Cassell for the Hansard Society; and an impression of the operation of Parliament is given in A. H. Hanson and H. V. Wiseman, Parliament at Work. An introduction to the system as it is today may be found in W. E. Jackson, The Structure of Local Government in England and Wales.
