This book presents case studies of recent and often spectacular failures of policy including the BSE crisis, the 'Arms to Iraq' affair, the German currency union, and asks what is meant by policy 'disaster'.
This book considers some recent and spectacular failures in policy-making and asks what is meant by policy ''disaster'', the different forms that they can take and why they have occured. These issues are explored in nine contrasting cases drawn from both the European Union and its member states. These include: the devastating crisis in the Belgium political system following the exposure of a paedophile ring; the crisis in the Dutch fight against drugs; ''Mad Cows'', the ''Arms to Iraq'' affair in the UK; monetary union between West and East Germany; the Swedish monetary crisis of 1992; and the EU''s common fisheries policy and policies towards civil war in Yugoslavia. This book is an excellent study of how and why policies can go wrong and highlights the limits of what governments can achieve in Western Europe.
