Two theoretical perspectives on the connection between religion and politics are applied to Great Britain. Data from the 1991 and 1992 waves of the British Household Panel Study, used to conduct multinomial logistic regression analysis, dispute the general consensus that religion has weak or no effects on the voting decisions of British citizens. Religious belonging, behaviour and belief, as well as the religious context of households, continue to influence British voting behaviour. Interaction effects among religious variables and between religious variables and class also operate to influence vote choice. Areas for further research into the religious bases of British electoral behaviour are suggested. (British Journal of Political Science / FUB)

This survey provides an indispensable guide to current political and social issues in contemporary Britain. It describes and reviews a broad range of current social attitudes derived from nationwide interviews of around 3500 people each year.

At the zenith of GB power at the beginning of the 20th century there was a widespread recognition that GB's position in the emerging global industrial interstate system was increasingly precarious & that widespread adjustments would be needed. One solution, the "imperial federalism" of Seeley & Mackinder, proposed the political integration of the scattered British settler colonies into a "Greater Britain." Alternatively, Wells predicted that GB would become integrated into an Anglo-American "greater synthesis," & that Europe would be unified on "Swiss confederal" rather than German authoritarian lines. These proposals & prophesies were based upon interpretations of the changing material context composed of technology interacting with geography, & were seriously flawed. Extensive debates on these schemes indicate that the range of grand strategic choice was broader than that conceptualized by contemporary realism. The failure of GB national integration due to geographic factors & the endurance of the Anglo-American special relationship casts the roles of the nation-state & the Western liberal order in a new perspective.
