“An Emergency Within the Emergency”
During the Covid-19 pandemic, the lockdown and containment measures that were put in place by the UK government severely disrupted NHS mental health services. Surveys carried out during this period showed a decline in people’s wellbeing leading to fears that the country would soon face an unprecedented mental health crisis. This paper shows that not everyone was affected in the same way and that those whose mental health deteriorated the most wer…
Mental Health Community Care in Great Britain
This article looks at the evolution of mental health care in the community in Great Britain from the 1950s to the present day. One of the main aims of the 1959 Mental Health Act was to close the asylums and deinstitutionalise psychiatric patients. There was, however, no agreement on the way in which community care should be set up for the former asylum inmates. It rapidly became apparent that patients and their families saw community care as a mo…
Implementation Studies

Structure and Agency in Land and Property Development Processes
This paper reviews existing approaches to, and research on, land and property development processes.

This is the relation between the way…
Policy, Bargaining and Structure in Implementation Theory
This theoretical and conceptual article expounds an approach to the study of implementation which sees it as an integral part of the policy process rather than an administrative ‘follow on’ from policy making. It therefore argues for the need to work with a stance on the concept of policy which sees it as complex and ambiguous, and the need to recognise the importance of the policy-action continuum. From that position it goes on to emphasise the …
