British Government@LSE is a new initiative currently based in the Government Department to promote and develop research on British Government being conducted at the LSE. The LSE has always been closely involved in the study, advice and development of British Government with many of our students moving into careers in civil and public service as well as politics, and many of our most notable Professors have contributed to the understanding and development of British Government and politics. Recent developments such as a hung Parliament and the first nationwide coalition-government since the second world war have brought the study of British Government back to centre stage. British Government@LSE will be a focus for scholars in the Government Department and around the School who are analyzing and commenting on these developments. It will also host high profile public lectures, seminars, symposia and visiting speaker programmes addressing scholars, civil and public servants and students of British politics.
British Government at LSE is now on Facebook. We will be regularly updating the page with new events and publications. If you’re a Facebook user, like us!
