Von der hinteren Coverseite

Just over a decade ago, a leading group of academics and policy experts were brought together to assess the key economic, social, and constitutional policy options for Britain. Their analysis quickly became accepted wisdom, and many of the policy proposals put forth in the highly influential volume Options for Britain have now been implemented.

Options for Britain II: Cross Cutting Policy Issues - Changes and Challenges offers an assessment of the decade since these policies were implemented by focusing on several issues that cut across policy areas. These include the measurement of public sector performance, the role of the state, regulation, and Britain’s relationship with the European Union. A variety of leading academic and policy experts examine how such ‘cross-cutters’ have changed since 1997 and point to the current challenges Britain faces. This Special Issue of Political Quarterly serves as an accompaniment to the follow-up to Options for Britain - Options For A New Britain- which provides an independent overview of 15 of the most important individual policy areas. Collectively, these volumes provide an authoritative understanding of how public policy in Britain has changed over the last decade while offering bold ideas to meet the next decade's challenges.
