Rezensionen

'This work is far from being just another assessment of the Coalition's first year in office. In addition to the in-depth examination of Cameron's statecraft strategy, Heppell and Seawright offer a compelling analysis of the Conservative Party's ideological trajectory under Cameron, particularly in relation to a New Labour legacy.'

- Agnès Alexandre-Collier, Professor, Université de Bourgogne, France.

'Packed with authoritative, detailed and insightful accounts, this book gets to the heart of Cameron's Coalition government; its formation, policy and politics. Heppell and Seawright have achieved the best of breadth and depth to illuminate and explain the most important features of this fascinating period of Conservative party politics.'

- Jane Green, Lecturer in Politics, University of Manchester, UK

'This is an excellent and wide-ranging collection of essays on the Conservatives in opposition and power from 2005-2011 that brings together the expertise of an impressive team of scholars. It will be a key resource for all those seriously interested in the party's development and prospects under David Cameron.'

- Paul Webb, Professor of Politics at the Department of Politics and Contemporary European Studies, University of Sussex, UK
