| Summary/Abstract |
The challenges of negotiating Brexit are daunting. As such, it does not bode well that Britain's post-referendum politics have been so bitter, polarised and volatile.

| Summary/Abstract |
The Coalition programme includes restructuring public provision through reforms and cuts which will take public spending in the Britain below that in the US. This article explores whether the Coalition agenda is best understood as a new approach to Britain's deep-seated economic short-comings or simply as the normal politics of gaining and retaining power. It analyses the current government's programme, identifies the common features across the range of policies and discusses how they are likely to develop as they encounter set-backs.

| Summary/Abstract |
The increasing importance of New Politics or authoritarian-libertarian values to electoral behaviour in advanced Western industrial democracies and the previously documented strong link between such values and educational attainment indicates that, contrary to the claims of some New Politics theorists, the ideological conflict is anchored in the social structure - in particular in educational groups. For this interpretation to be warranted, however, it should be possible to document the existence of education-based group identity and group consciousness related to the value conflict. The article develops indicators of the core variables out of Social Identity Theory. Based on a unique survey from Denmark, which includes the new set of indicators, the analyses show that members of the high and low education groups have developed both group identity and consciousness reflecting a conflict between the groups and that these factors are related to authoritarian-libertarian values. The results are interpreted as reflecting a relationship of dominance, which supports the view that the ideological conflict is structurally anchored.

| Summary/Abstract |
The "New Politics" in the U.S. is escalating the polarization of politics. The Republican and Democratic Parties hold conflicting views on such vital issues as debt reduction, balancing the budget, reform of medical care and social security, immigration, and ways of ending the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. This aggravated polarization ushered in by the "New Politics" will also influence American foreign policy, especially Sino-U.S. relations.

| Summary/Abstract |
Malaysia in 2010 was best characterized by the efforts of the governing coalition to balance the "old" politics of communalism and patronage with a "new" political landscape focused on greater sociopolitical and economic inclusivity. However, it still remains unclear if this coalition is capable of successfully negotiating such a course.

| Summary/Abstract |
This article explores the contests over land and resources in the lowveld of Zimbabwe, focusing on three case studies - Nuanetsi ranch, the Save Valley and Chiredzi River conservancies, and Gonarezhou National Park. Each case examines who gained and who lost out over time, from entrepreneurial investors to well-connected politicians and military figures, to white ranchers and large numbers of farmers who have occupied land since 2000. We identify a dynamic of elite accumulation and control over resources that has been resisted by alliances of land invaders, war veterans, and local political and traditional leaders. By documenting this struggle over time, the article demonstrates that, in these marginal areas outside the formal 'fast-track' land reform programme, local communities retain the capacity to resist state power and imagine alternative social, economic, and political trajectories - even if these are opposed by those at the centre. While much discussion of recent Zimbabwean politics has appropriately highlighted the centralized, sometimes violent, nature of state power, this is exerted in different ways in different places. A combination of local divisions within political parties, bureaucratic discretion within implementing agencies, and local contests over land create a very particular, local politics, especially at the geographic margins of the nation. As this article shows, this offers opportunities for a variety of expressions of local agency and resistance, which temper the impositions of centralized state power.

| Summary/Abstract |
Political campaigns running during the Israeli general elections of 2013 saw a rapidly growing use of new media. According to reports, most of the electronic campaign activity focused on candidates' or their respective party's Facebook page. This article explores the rhetorical dimensions of electronic campaigns and particularly focuses on the formation of the public image of three candidate, all of whom were identified with the promise of a ‘new politics’: Yair Lapid, head of the newly formed ‘middle class party’ Yesh Atid; Shelly Yachimovich, head of the Israeli Labour Party; and Naftali Bennett, newly elected head of the religious Zionist party, Habayit Hayehudi. The rhetorical analysis uncovers three discursive strategies used by all three candidates: informality, meta-textuality and narrativity. These discursive strategies transform the campaign microblogs into personal ‘campaign diaries’ used by the candidates to account for ‘behind the scenes’ anecdotes, impressions and insights. The analysis shows that candidates used personal Facebook microblogs to strengthen their image as authentic and complex characters, rather than mediated personas engineered by campaign managers. This article argues that such political images were strategically designed in order to support the campaigns' promise to break from the ‘old politics’ and warrant the candidates' commitment to the ‘new politics’.

| Summary/Abstract |
Childcare policy has become an integral part of social and economic policy in post-industrial democracies. This article explores how the transformation of party systems structures the politics of childcare policy. It reveals that political parties contend with each other over childcare and female employment policy on the social-value dimension as well as the redistributive dimension. Assuming that different party policies have distinct impacts on public childcare policy, it is hypothesised in this article that a government's policy position - composed of the governing parties' policy positions - affects changes in public spending for childcare services. Through an analysis of the pooled time-series and cross-section data of 18 advanced industrialised countries from 1980 until 2005 using multivariate regression methods, it is revealed that a government's redistributive left-right policy position interacts with its social liberal-conservative policy position, and that a left-liberal government raises its budget for childcare services while a left-conservative government does not.

| Summary/Abstract |
The New Politics of Class by Geoffrey Evans and James Tilley is a new and noteworthy contribution to the huge literature on the impact of social class on voting and elections in Great Britain. For anyone interested in British party politics, the book makes interesting reading. The New Politics of Class (hereafter NPC) presents a challenging argument about the evolution of class politics in Britain over the past half-century. Evans and Tilley's analyses and interpretations raise a large number of controversial issues that deserve careful consideration by experts in the field. Well organised and clearly written, the book will appeal to a broad audience of social scientists, journalists, students and interested laypersons. Relying heavily on simple graphs to present supporting quantitative evidence, NPC is readily accessible to anyone lacking technical training in sophisticated statistical methods.

| Summary/Abstract |
Following E. E. Schattschneider’s observation that “a new policy creates a new politics,” scholars of “policy feedback” have theorized that policies influence subsequent political behavior and public opinion. Recent studies observe, however, that policy feedback does not always occur and the form it takes varies considerably. To explain such variation, we call for policy feedback studies to draw more thoroughly on public opinion research. We theorize that: (1) feedback effects are not ubiquitous and may in some instances be offset by political factors, such as partisanship and trust in government; (2) policy design may generate self-interested or sociotropic motivations, and (3) feedback effects result not only from policy benefits but also from burdens. We test these expectations by drawing on a unique panel study of Americans’ responses to the Affordable Care Act. We find competing policy and political pathways, which produce variations in policy feedback.
