      title = {Conflict, co-operation and the rhetoric of coalition  government /},
      abstract = {Through a rhetorical analysis, this book explores how the  parties in a coalition government create a united public  front while preserving their distinct identities. After  proposing an original framework based on the ?new rhetoric?  of Kenneth Burke, the author charts the path from the  inconclusive outcome of the 2010 UK general election and  the formation of the Conservative-Liberal Democrat  coalition to the dissolution of the partnership in the  run-up to May 2015. In doing so, she sheds valuable light  on the parties? use of rhetoric to manage the competing  dynamics of unity and distinctiveness in the areas of  higher education, constitutional reform, the Europe Union  and foreign policy. This unique and highly-accessible  analysis will be of interest to a wide audience, including  scholars and students of rhetoric, British politics and  coalition studies.},
