In defence of British politics against the British political tradition / Richards, David; Smith, Martin J   Article
Richards, David Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Summary/Abstract This article explores some of the current themes round the perceived crisis in British politics in supposed an age of ‘anti-politics’. Drawing on Bernard Crick's In Defence of Politics, it offers a critique of what is referred to as a dominant British political tradition and in so doing seeks to challenge ‘demand-side’ accounts that ostensibly defend the traditional arena politics of the Westminster system. Instead, it argues that developments around issues such as big data, social media and freedom of information have led to a more open society in recent years. It concludes by suggesting that if traditional political institutions wish to restore a greater degree of legitimacy, they need to ‘do’ or, more particularly, ‘supply’ politics differently, adapting to these changes by seeking out new modes of openness, engagement and accountability.
