Ymchwil

My research interests are in two specific areas. Firstly, trends in British politics since 1945 to the present day, particularly with regard to the changing nature and dynamics of party politics in terms both of electoral performance, and both intra-party and inter-party ideological debates, discourses, orientations and (re)positioning. Here, I am especially interested in the contemporary history, philosophy and politics of the Conservative Party, but I am similarly interested I in the Labour Party and the Liberal Democrats. Related to these research interests is an interest in electoral politics and voting behaviour in Britain since 1970.

My second main area of research is in aspects of contemporary public policy in Britain, both with regard to the processes of policy-making, and the manner in which various policies have developed up until the present day. I am particularly interested in the intellectual or ideological justifications offered when policies are enacted or reformed , and also in the factors which have influenced the degree of success (or failure) which specific public policies have experienced during implementation.

In 2011, I published three books, one sole-authored, and two co-authored. The first was a monograph entitled British Conservatism: The Politics and Philosophy of Inequality,published by I.B.Tauris. This won the Political Studies Association’s ‘Conservatives and Conservatism’ Group’s prize for the best book on Conservatism in 2011. The second book, so-authord with Alexandra Kelso (Southampton University) was House of Lords Reform since 1911: Must the Lords Go?, published by Palgrave Macmillan. The third book, also published by Palgrave Macmillan, was From Crisis to Coalition: The Conservative Party, 1997-2010, co-authored with Mark Garnett (Lancaster University) and Andrew Denham (Nottingham University).

I am currently completing a revised, expanded and updated edition of my 2005 text Policy Making in Britain: An Introduction which will be published by Sage in spring 2013.

I will then start work on two more Conservative-related books. The first, to be co-authored with Mark Garnett, will be a study of the Conservative-Liberal Democrat Coalition Governement, which wil be published by Palgrave Macmillan. The second will be a monograph entitled The Origins of Thatcherism: The Conservative Party 1974-79.

I teach two undergraduate Modules which reflect my research interests and expertise, namely British Politics since 1945, and Public Policy in Britain, and contribute towards the 2nd Year Modules Comparative Politics, on which I teach ‘Models of Power’, and Politics and Policies of the European Union, on which I teach a section on ‘Britain and the EU’. I also co-teach the post-graduate Module British Governance and Public Policy on the MSc (Econ) Politics and Public Policy. Each year, I supervise several undergraduate and postgraduate dissertations on various aspects of British politics. In addition, I am currently supervising 3 PhD students.
