Paperback. Condición: New. Scotland faces its biggest choice since the 1707 union - should Scotland be an independent country? The Yes and No campaigns are well under way but with the vote looming closer the information available to the public is still limited. The Scottish people will have to make their own judgments, and so they need to have the issues explained as clearly as possible without spin or bias. What will happen after the referendum? How will Westminster and the rest of the UK respond? What happens if the vote is 'No'? Is it even clear what independence will mean? What about the oil? What will the currency be? What will happen to the Old Age Pension pot if the UK splits? Scotland's Choices, now fully revised for the critical last few months before the referendum, tells you everything you need to know before you place your vote. Written by one former civil servant, one academic and one think-tanker - one a resident Scot, one a Scot living in England and one an Englishman - the authors clearly explain the issues you may not have considered and detail how each of the options would be put into place after the referendum.

Paperback. Condición: Good. There are few words in modern politics capable of emptying a room quite as efficiently as "constitutional reform." Mention dragons, serial killers or alien invasions and people lean forward eagerly. Mention devolution and they suddenly remember an urgent appointment elsewhere. Yet Devolution in Practice 2010 performs the remarkable feat of taking one of Britain?s most complex political experiments and making it genuinely interesting. Published by the Institute for Public Policy Research and written by Guy Lodge and Katie Schmuecker, this volume arrives from a period when politicians were enthusiastically redistributing powers around the United Kingdom with the confidence of people assembling flat-pack furniture without first reading the instructions. The theory seemed straightforward enough: move decisions closer to the people affected by them. The practice, as this book explores, proved rather more complicated. Within these pages lies an examination of how devolution was actually working in Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland and beyond. Rather than merely admiring constitutional diagrams from a safe distance, the authors venture into the messy reality of governance, where noble ambitions collide with budgets, bureaucracy, elections and the occasional inconvenient fact. The result is a fascinating snapshot of Britain attempting one of its largest political reorganisations in generations. Readers may discover that devolution is rather like renovating an old house. The plans look elegant on paper, everyone agrees that improvements are needed, and then somebody discovers a pipe running through the middle of a wall that nobody realised existed. One of the pleasures of this book is that it captures a particular moment in history. Published in 2010, it sits at an intriguing crossroads. Some readers will approach it as contemporary policy analysis. Others will find themselves reading it as a historical document from a Britain that was still several constitutional earthquakes away from referendums, endless debates about national identity and the political landscape we recognise today. There is also a certain irony in the subject matter. Devolution was intended, at least in part, to make government feel more local, more responsive and more connected to everyday lives. Yet explaining exactly who is responsible for what often seems to require a flowchart, three legal textbooks and a large pot of coffee. This book patiently guides readers through the complexity without assuming they already possess an honorary degree in constitutional law. The authors balance practical policy analysis with broader questions about democracy, accountability and representation. How should power be shared? Does moving authority geographically improve decision-making? Can local priorities coexist with national ambitions? These are questions that remain stubbornly relevant, which is perhaps why books on public policy have a habit of becoming unexpectedly topical years after publication. This Good-condition copy remains an excellent addition for students of politics, public policy enthusiasts, historians of modern Britain or anyone who has ever watched a political debate and wondered which layer of government was actually supposed to be responsible for the matter under discussion. It is considerably less stressful than reading parliamentary committee reports and substantially shorter than attending an actual constitutional convention. Whether you are fascinated by the machinery of government or simply curious about why Britain?s political map sometimes resembles a compromise reached after a very long meeting, this book offers a thoughtful and surprisingly readable guide. Sold by Crappy Old Books, where even a decade-old policy report can become a historical artefact, a political time capsule and a reminder that whenever politicians promise to simplify something, the resulting explanation is usually several hundred pages long.

"Are public sector institutions being exposed to ever-greater oversight, audit, and inspection in the name of efficiency, accountability, and risk management? 'Controlling Modern Government' explores the long-term development of controls over government across five major state traditions in developed democracies, including the US, Japan, variants of continental-European models, a Scandinavian case, and variants of the Westminster model. A central aspect of the study is an eight country comparison of variety in the use of controls based in oversight, competition, mutuality, and contrived randomness in the selected domains of the high bureaucracy at the core of the state, the higher education sector, and the prison sector. Countries covered include Australia, France, Germany, Japan, the Netherlands, Norway, the UK, and the USA.".

paperback. Condición: Good. Our good condition books are generally good for reading but not for gifting or collecting. They could have imperfections such as creasing, fanning, inscriptions, margin notes, yellowing, staining on edge or cover or pages, bumps, scuffs, etc etc (sometimes multiple of these). It's a wide category that encompasses anything that isn't almost-new down to anything that is slightly better than poor.

We list via barcode/ISBN so please note that the images are stock images and may not be the exact copy you receive, furthermore the details about edition and year might not be accurate as many publishers reuse the same ISBN for multiple editions and as we simply scan a barcode or enter an ISBN we do not check the validity of the edition data when listing. If you're looking for an exact edition please don't order (at least not without checking with us first, although we don't always have time to check). We aim to dispatch prompty, the service used will depend on order value and book size. We can ship to most countries, see our shipping policies. Payment is via Abe only.
