It covers: * Ideas, Problem Definition, Issues and Agenda-Setting * Key Individuals * Key Institutions * Parliament and Public Policy Implementation * The shift from Government to Governance (including marketization, and devolution) * The increasing role of the private and voluntary sectors in policy delivery * Internationalisation and Europeanization of policies and policy making * Evaluation, audits and the New Public Management Each chapter is enriched by recent real-life case studies and boxes illustrating key arguments, concepts and empirical developments. Taking into account the 2010 election and beyond, the book addresses current issues, developments and debates.
