Product Description

Product Description

'By applying the range of tools of policy analysis to the detail of the policy making machinery of British government, Peter Dorey's text has met a need for teachers and students of these subjects which has not been fulfilled for a decade or more. I have adopted it straight away as a 'must buy' for my own students'

- Justin Greenwood, Robert Gordon University

'A very welcome addition to the literature on public policy-making in contemporary Britain and ideal for teaching purposes. Peter Dorey's new book is clearly written, theoretically informed, but also rich in illustration. A key resource for all students of British public policy'

- Dr Andrew Denham, Reader in Government, University of Nottingham

This accessible textbook introduces students to the public policy-making process in Britain today. Assuming no prior knowledge, it provides a full review of the key actors, institutions and processes by addressing the following questions:

who sets the public policy agenda?

who influences the detail of public policy?

what makes for successful implementation of public policy?

is there such a thing as ‘British’ public policy?

Peter Dorey is careful to ground theory in the reality of contemporary British politics and the text fully assesses the impact of devolution and European integration and the evolution from government to governance.

The result is a lively and accessible new text that will be required reading for all students of contemporary British politics, public policy and governance.


Inside This Book (Learn More)
First Sentence
This book arose out of frustration with the dearth of up-to-date texts on policy making in Britain, which made it difficult to recommend a specific text to my third year and postgraduate 'public policy' students. Read the first page

Format:Paperback
Dorey's book does the impossible. Not only does it make this subject interesting it always bears in mind that the target audience of the text is the overworked student. Dorey breaks down political theories with excellent illustrations using contemporary policy issue's as examples and quotes a plethora of academics and theorists therefore making it an excellent starting point for any student writing about Policy Making in Britain. An invaluable resource to me as a student, Dorey has written one of my favourite academic texts that I have ever had to study from.
