About this title

Synopsis

Tightly organized and written in an accessible style, Managing the United Kingdom offers an innovative introduction both to fundamental models of political economy and public policy--and their application to Britain. The editors apply a new framework for the study of British politics and public policy, using three models of coordination central to any analysis of the public and private sectors: markets, hierarchies, and networks. After developing these models, the book examines key areas of the British political economy, analyzing them in relation to the underlying framework. Cases examined include core industries of strategic importance to the economy and the major elements of the public sector. Managing the United Kingdom will be invaluable to students and scholars of political science, public policy, and political economy.
