The Conservative Party and the closed shop
The 1970–74 Conservative Government was strongly committed to enacting industrial relations legislation which would simultaneously grant workers the right to belong or not to belong to a trade union, provide for legally enforceable collective agreements and facilitate more stable industrial relations by enhancing the authority of trade unions over their members. The associated 1971 Industrial Relations Act was therefore intended both to enhance t…
Twenty years on
The inefficiency of centralised control and political short-termism
A paradox of the New Public Management reform – an influential school of thought in the management of public services in some countries – is that, despite its rhetoric of discretion for public managers, governments frequently reassert direct input controls at the expense of managerial freedoms to deliver – and be held accountable for – agreed output/outcome objectives. The existing literature explains this by highlighting elite incentive structur…
Crisis what crisis?’ Understanding the recurring problems of the British state
This article seeks to explain the current crises besetting the UK state, arguing their seeds can be traced back to past failures to reform Britain’s pre-modern state arrangements. We argue the perpetuation of a political cutlure organised round the highly centralising British Political Tradition has proved increasingly incompatible with a fragmented governance landscape driven by forty years of New Public Management informed reforms. We posit thi…
Change and Continuity in British Politics
In this article, the key dilemmas that will confront the new Labour administration in Britain during its initial period in power are examined. The Starmer government is seeking to use the state pragmatically to improve British economic performance, stem the crisis in public services and strengthen the strategic capacity of Whitehall. However, embryonic approach represents a melding of disparate ideas and traditions that have yet to cohere into a …
The challenge of devolved English governance and the rise of political spatial inequality
The UK is characterised by spatial inequality between and within regions, alongside an over-centralised asymmetric model of governance. In England especially, these features are stark, and throughout the last decade, politicians have responded by forging a distinctive programme of English devolution focused on city-regions. In this article, we analyse the core drivers of the English devolution agenda to understand its impact on the future traject…
Crisis and state transformation
This article provides a novel account of recent UK governance reforms, describing what can be termed an ‘incoherent’ state, ill-equipped to address complex, multi-dimensional policy challenges. This is evidenced through two interrelated case-studies: Covid-19 and levelling up. We highlight how the tradition of strongly centralised government combined with an ad hoc approach to reform has undermined inter-governmental relations and limited the pos…
Tracing policy change
When faced with complex public policy challenges, policymakers grapple with a dilemma between assuming direct political control (politicisation) or creating ‘distance’ through arm’s length, often market-orientated governance arrangements (depoliticisation). We contend that both processes co-exist and operate simultaneously though empirically speaking, little is known about how they interact over time to inform policy change. We compare how the He…
English Devolution and the Covid‐19 Pandemic
This article explores the question of devolution in the light of the Covid-19 pandemic's impact on English local government. Criticism of the government's handling of the crisis is widespread and tends to focus on the highly centralised nature of the British state. Here, we attribute the challenges faced by regional and local government in responding to the pandemic primarily to the asymmetric nature of power relations that characterise financial…
The ‘majesty of the law’
(Re)politicising ‘the governmental’
This article is an account of the failure of the Industrial Relations Act that places resistance at its heart. This is achieved through application of the (de/re)politicisation framework, uncovering how this attempt to depoliticise the reform of industrial relations was resisted and re-politicisation achieved. The article argues that (re)politicisation is best understood through an analysis of informal processes of struggle involving non-governme…

How the Other Half Lives
Who We Are
How did educated Westerners make an enemy of an inspiration that has changed the lives of billions? Why is nationalism synonymous with atavism, fanaticism, xenophobia, and bloodshed? In this book, Robert Wiebe argues that we too often conflate nationalism with what states do in its name. By indiscriminately blaming it for terrorism, ethnic cleansing, and military thuggery, we avoid reckoning with nationalism for what it is: the desire among peopl…

Cultural change and the ghetto
Ghetto literature, the product of intense feeling and dramatic experience, has always been the most readable material of American urban history, indeed the only books which could command a wide audience.1 Today inter-racial conflict and the segregated pattern of Negro housing in our cities encourage urbanists to seek analogies between the urbanization of European peasants in American cities and the urbanization of the formerly rural American Negr…

They expressed the opinion that in nearly all, and prob ably in all, American citie…
