Based on two years of unprecedented access to the inner workings of Whitehall, this book by a leading team of scholars examines the army of inspectors, auditors, grievance-chasers and other bodies devoted to oversight of public organisations while documenting their remarkable growth over the last two decades.

Recenzje

Hood and colleagues develop a single, coherent analysis around the idea of relational distance and formality and then apply it to a range of policy areas...More thematic and covering a wide range of substantive cases, Hood and colleagues provide and insightful analysis and a clear picture of the way the UK state is changing.
