Paperback. Condición: Very Good. By applying the range of tools of policy analysis to the detail of the policy making machinery of British government, Peter Doreys 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 Doreys 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. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.

Paperback. Condición: Fair. Some books burst into your life promising revolution, revelation, and perhaps a new way of understanding the modern world. Others arrive with the words Policy Making in Britain ? An Introduction on the cover, which is about as flamboyant as a municipal filing cabinet and therefore, in its own deeply British way, instantly reassuring. Written by Peter Dorey and published by Sage in 2014 , this is exactly the sort of book that sounds as though it ought to be dry, worthy, and faintly punishing, only to turn out to be rather more interesting than many louder volumes on public life. Because British policy making, when you strip away the calm language and respectable committee paperwork, is really a never-ending saga of ministers, civil servants, pressure groups, party politics, competing interests, strategic compromises, unintended consequences, and the occasional heroic attempt to make the machinery of government behave itself for five full minutes. Dorey?s great trick is to take a subject that might initially suggest endless grey corridors and transform it into something recognisably alive. Policy making is not just ?how laws happen? or ?how governments decide things.? It is the study of how ideas are born, dressed up, sent through consultations, mauled by politics, revised by reality, and eventually released into the wild where they proceed to behave in ways nobody fully predicted. In other words, it is the story of Britain attempting to run itself through a combination of principle, process, compromise, and the ancient national tradition of muddling through with impressive vocabulary. This book is ideal for students, politics enthusiasts, policy nerds, reluctant sociology survivors, and anyone who has ever read a news headline and wondered, ?Yes, but who on earth actually decided this?? It opens the lid on the mechanisms behind public decisions and shows that policy is rarely the product of a single brilliant mind in a ministerial office. More often it emerges from a fog of institutions, ideologies, lobbying, media pressure, budget limits, party calculations, and the awkward fact that real life has a habit of refusing to fit neatly into white papers. There is also something wonderfully ironic about British policy making as a subject. On paper it sounds orderly, procedural, almost elegant. In practice it is an endlessly fascinating contest between what governments intend, what they announce, what they can afford, what departments can deliver, and what the public will tolerate before everyone starts writing cross letters to the newspapers. Dorey, wisely, understands that policy is not just a technical function. It is a living political process full of conflict, persuasion, institutional habits, and the occasional beautifully worded fudge. And because this is an introduction , it has that rare and valuable quality of actually trying to introduce. It is there to explain, not intimidate. It does not assume you have already spent twelve years lurking in Westminster cloakrooms absorbing procedural folklore. Instead it helps make sense of the structures, the actors, the theories, and the practical realities of governance in Britain, which is helpful, because British governance has long depended on the public not looking too closely at how the sausage is consensually, strategically, and partially accountably made. This particular copy is listed in Good condition but with a fold in the cover , and honestly that feels almost thematically appropriate. A book about British policy making that bears a visible crease is not damaged so much as authenticated. It has, in its own modest physical form, experienced a mild structural complication while remaining perfectly serviceable, which is more or less the biography of the British state since about 1688. Internally sound, externally a bit rumpled, still carrying on. Offered by Crappy Old Books , this Fair copy is therefore not merely a second-hand textbook. It is a slightly battle-worn guide to the noble, confusing, compromise-laden business of governing a country through meetings, memos, doctrines, consultations, and carefully calibrated public statements. It will sit on your shelf looking serious and useful, which it is, but it may also occasionally provoke the comforting thought that if policy making is this complicated for the people in charge, perhaps your own administrative difficulties are not entirely a personal failing. In short, Policy Making in Britain is a smart, accessible, and quietly revealing introduction to the machinery behind British public decisions. It explains how power, process, and politics interact, while gently reminding the reader that government is never quite as simple, rational, or tidy as official documents would like us to believe. A very solid book for anyone interested in politics, public administration, or the strange national art of trying to change the country one briefing paper at a time.
