Seldon, A. (2007) ‘Blair in history’, British Politics, 2 (2), pp. 264-8.
It also has a review of Hay (2007) which you should all try to read:
Hay, C. (2007) Why we hate politics. Cambridge: Polity Press.
Slightly dated (such is the pace of events) but still a good springboard to thinking about the geo-political status/behaviour of the UK:
Davies, P. et al. (2006) ‘The grinding reality of realpolitik: current and future directions in the UK, USA and Europe’, 21st Century Society, 1 (1), pp. 79-98. eJ
Other things I’ve been reading recently:
Carman, C.J. (2006) ‘Public preferences for Parliamentary representation in the UK: an overlooked link?’, Political Studies, 54 (1), pp. 103-22.
which will make you think more deeply about responsive voting models upon which also see the excellent first chapter of:
Johnston, R. and Pattie, C. (2006) Putting voters in their place: geography and elections in Great Britain. Oxford: Oxford University Press.
The latest Economic Journal has two interesting reviews of Offer (2006) which demonstrate the different ways in which economists broadly approach the challenge of affluence; see
Oswald, A.J. and Powdthavee, N. (2007) ‘Obesity, unhappiness and The challeneg of affluence: theory and evidence [Review of Offer 2006]’, Economic Journal, 117 (6), pp. F441-F54.
Gintis, H. (2007) ‘Economic growth and wellbeing: a behavioural analysis’, Economic Journal, 117 (6), pp. F455-F9.
Finally, Politics, 26.1 (2006) is a themed issue on the state of political science; see especially:
Aspinwall, M. (2006) ‘Studying the British’, Politics, 26 (1), pp. 3-10.
