Short description: Approach to understanding politics, policy change and political leadership
Statecraft theory is an approach in political science to understanding politics, policy change and political leadership, which focuses on the interests of the political elite. It was first developed by British academic Jim Bulpitt to understand the government of Margaret Thatcher.[1] It was subsequently used to explain political leadership in Britain,[2] but the approach has been criticised.[3]
