Tranforming Government
General Editor:

The Economic and Social Research Council mounted the Whitehall Programme
on ‘The Changing Nature of Central Government in Britain’ between 1994 and
1999. The Programme sought to repair gaps in our knowledge about the work-
ings of British central government and to explain how and why British govern-
ment changed in the post-war period. Also, because we cannot understand the
effects of these changes by focusing only on Britain, the Programme analysed
the experience of the advanced industrial democracies of Europe and the
Commonwealth. Initially the ‘Transforming Government’ series reported the
results of that five-year research programme, publishing ten books. Now, the
series publishes any research consistent with its long-standing objectives:
•
Develop theory
– to develop new theoretical perspectives to explain why
British government changed and why it differs from other countries.
•
Understand change
– to describe and explain what has changed in British
government since 1945.
•
Compare advanced industrial democracies
– to compare change in Britain
with other EU member and other states with a ‘Westminster’ system of
government, especially the Old Commonwealth.
•
Build bridges
– to create a common understanding between academics and
practitioners and to make academic research accessible to a varied audience
covering 6th-formers and senior policy makers.
The series encompasses any theoretical approach to the study of government and
governance. We welcome books on such notions as hollowing-out, governance,
postmodernism, core executives, new institutionalism and cultural theory along-
side the more traditional topics of the civil service, prime ministers and govern-
ment departments. All books should meet the conventional criteria of theoretical
and empirical rigour, but also seek to address topics of broad current interest that
open the field of study to new ideas and areas of investigation.
