Across my desk this past couple of weeks (also of some relevance to TL):

The latest issue of the British Journal of Political Science, 38.2 (2008) has four papers of interest:

Jacobs, A.M. (2008) ‘The politics of when: redistribution, investment and policy making for the long term’, British Journal of Political Science, 38 (2), pp. 193-220.

Denny, K. and Doyle, O. (2008) ‘Political interest, cognitive ability and personality: determinants of voter turnout in Britain’, British Journal of Political Science, 38 (2), pp. 291-310.

Mondak, J.J. and Halperin, K.D. (2008) ‘A framework for the study of personality and political behaviour’, British Journal of Political Science, 38 (2), pp. 335-62.

Dewan, T. and Shepsle, K.A. (2008) ‘Recent economic perspectives on political economy, I’, British Journal of Political Science, 38 (2), pp. 363-82.

Very belatedly I came across a themed issue of the British Journal of Industrial Relations, 25.2 (1997) which was devoted to fifty years of nationalisation in Britain. A number of papers are of interest, especially for those with an interest in the coal industry and industrial relations:

Glyn, A. and Machin, S. (1997) ‘Colliery closures and the decline of the UK coal industry’, British Journal of Industrial Relations, 35 (2), pp. 197-214.

Pendleton, A. (1997) ‘The evolution of industrial relations in UK nationalized industries’, British Journal of Industrial Relations, 35 (2), pp. 145-72.

Parry, D., Waddington, D. and Critcher, C. (1997) ‘Industrial relations in the privatized mining industry’, British Journal of Industrial Relations, 35 (2), pp. 173-96.

On monetary policy, and more TL then TGP, and also more American then one would wish for in terms of thinking about Britain, the following is fairly accessible to non-economists and should provoke thought about monetarism in Britain in the 1980s:

Goodfriend, M. (2007) ‘How the world achieved consensus on monetary policy’, Journal of Economic Perspectives, 21 (4), pp. 47-68.
