Fully revised and updated, this new edition of Simon James's comprehensible and accessible text provides an excellent insight into the work of the Prime Minister and Cabinet government.

It draws on the wealth of new material that has become available in recent years to shed light on the mechanisms and processes of the Cabinet system in Britain, focusing on the post-1979 period. Its coverage includes:
  • ministers and their departments;
  • collective decision-making;
  • the role of the Prime Minister;
  • the strengths and weaknesses of the Cabinet system; and
  • the future of the Cabinet system.
Prime Minister and Cabinet Government will give both A-level students and undergraduates a clear understanding of the realities of this central aspect of British politics.
