Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
Designed to replace the widely used Public Policy in Britain, this successor volume provides a comprehensive and accessible analysis of the New Labour agenda for public policy. Edited to provide systematic coverage, specially commissioned chapters by experts in their fields examine the key areas of policy, placing the New Labour approach in the context of the significant changes since the early 1980s.
Includes bibliographical references (p. 242-264) and index.
