Abstract
British scholars specializing in US Politics founded the American Politics Group in 1974. The inaugural event was a conference at Keele University organized by John Lees. A January conference has been an annual event ever since, and the Keynote Address named after John Lees commemorates his significance to the Group and contribution that he made to the broader development of the study of US politics in Britain.
Dean McSweeney, a founder member, offers some personal reflections on the history of the Group from which many of this volume’s contributors are drawn.
