Presents an account of institutional changes in central, local and European Union government with methodological innovations and theoretical analysis. This book enables our understanding of government and governance.
Understanding Governance asks:
* What has changed in British government over the past two decades, how and why?
* Why do so many government policies fail?
* What does the shift from government to governance mean for the practice and study of British government?
This book provides a challenging reinterpretation which interweaves an account of recent institutional changes in central, local and European Union government with methodological innovations and theoretical analysis. It emphasizes: the inability of the ''Westminster model'', with its accent on parliamentary sovereignty and strong executive leadership, to account for persistent policy failure; the ''hollowing out'' of British government from above (the European Union), below (special purpose bodies) and sideways (to agencies); and the need to respond to the postmodern challenge, rethinking the methodological and theoretical assumptions in the study of British government. Professor Rhodes makes a significant and timely contribution to our understanding of government and governance.
