British & Irish history; Comparative politics; Constitution: government & the state

Adopting a comparative, methodological approach, this book explores 12 key crises in British political history from the early 20th century to modern day. By drawing upon notions of blame, framing and agenda setting, the book illustrates how narratives and narrations of events as crises can be used to promote political changes.
