Policy-Making in Britain by Maurice Mullard (1995, Paperback)

This collection provides a broad-based introduction to policy-making in Britain, exploring the legacy of the Thatcher era and charting the new context of policy-making in the 1990s. The contributors examine the policy process within its ideological, political and economic context, discusssing both the influence of Europe and of local government. Having established a broad framework for analysis, the book focusses on a selection of public policy areas: public expenditure, the NHS, water privatization, pensions, education and immigration.

Policy-Making in Britain gives the reader a sense of the actual dynamics behind the making of public policy and makes the connections between British public policy and the environment in which it is shaped.
