The Institute for Fiscal Studies has just published a most useful briefing document on public expenditure since the Second World War, A survey of public spending in the UK
In preparing for that part of seminar 1 devoted to Downs and later work there is a paper just published in the British Journal of Politics and Political Science which will interest the methodologically more adventurous:
Adams, J. and Somer-Topcu, Z. (2009) ‘Policy adjustment by parties in response to rival parties’ policy shifts: spatial theory and the dynamics of party competition in twenty-five post-war democracies’, British Journal of Political Science, 39 (4), pp. 825-46.
Other papers of interest:
The latest issue of Parliamentary Affairs, 62 (4) (2009) is devoted to Charter 88.
I have also come across a couple of recent pieces on chosing Tory leaders:
Denham, A. (2009) ‘From grey suits to grass roots: choosing Conservative leaders’, British Politics, 4 (2), pp. 217-35.
Denham, A. (20009) ‘Far from home: Conservative leadership selection from Heath to Cameron’, Political Quarterly, 80 (3), pp. 380-7.
For those thinking about projects/dissertations:
Morris, Z. (2009) ‘The truth about interviewing elites’, Politics, 29 (3), pp. 209-17.
A new reference book:
Flinders, M., et al., (eds) (2009) The Oxford handbook of British politics. Oxford: Oxford University Press.
Keynes is rightly much in the news though not necessarily by those who understand what he said. From those who do are two new books which will help you situate the recent revival of interest in Keynes and Keynesian economics:
Clarke, P.F. (2009) Keynes: the twentieth century’s most influential economist. London: Bloomsbury.
Skidelsky, R.J. (2009) Keynes: the return of the master. London: Allen Lane.
