Why don't you give exact delivery time?
Delivery time is estimated on our previous experiences. We give estimations only, because we order from outside Hungary, and the delivery time mainly depends on how quickly the publisher supplies the book. Faster or slower deliveries both happen, but we do our best to supply as quickly as possible.

UK Politics is the ideal introduction to the subject, providing students with the foundational understanding, critical perspectives, and historical knowledge they need to make sense of politics in the United Kingdom today.
MoreLong description:
One of the first introductory UK politics textbooks to publish since Brexit and the start of the Covid-19 pandemic, this book combines foundational understanding and critical perspectives to provide a clear overview of the UK political system.
UK Politics takes a contextual and historical approach to teaching. The chapters, written in an accessible and approachable style, introduce students to the core processes, institutions, power struggles, and trends that characterise UK politics today. The in-chapter features also foster key skills including engagement with primary sources, thinking critically about claims, and the development of debates.
Through careful explanation, case studies, extracts, and thoughtful questions, UK Politics helps students answer the questions 'what's going on?', 'how should it work (and how does it actually)?' and 'how did we get here?
