Ebook: Political Advice: Past, Present and Future

The continuing churn of political advisers in Donald Trump’s White House and the dramatic fall in 2017 of Theresa May’s chief advisers Nick Timothy and Fiona Hill serve as a reminder of the salience and relevance of political advice. This volume of essays feeds into a contemporary concern, set in a wider historical context. Moreovver, the volume treats political advice in an interdisciplinary fashion with contributions from classics and literature as well as from history and politics. The unique practitioners’ perspective to the problem of political advice is brought by the contributions of politicians, political advisers and senior civil servants.
