Opis

For the first two thirds of the twentieth century, British government was among the most stable in the world. In the last three decades it has been a leader in innovation and its governing system has been in constant turmoil. This book, by one of Britain's leading political scientists, explains this transformation and traces its consequences. It will be essential reading for all those interested in British political development and, in particular, the central role of regulation in the modern state.

Recenzje

Review from previous edition Moran has provided us with a sophisticated account of contemporary regulatory developments in Britain, drawing on historical, empirical and comparative material to build an elegantly argued thesis.
