Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Offshore Island Politics is a fascinating study of the constitutional and political development of the Isle of Man. The book analyzes three broad aspects of twentieth-century political development: constitutional progress towards self-government, elections and public policy and the changing role of the state in Manx society. One of the most important political changes the study addresses is the gradual ascendancy of the directly elected House of Keys in Manx politics. Offshore Island Politics concludes with a look at the final two decades of the century, a period of population growth and unprecedented prosperity for the small offshore island.
