The Democratic Potential of Public Participation
Public participation is commonly advocated as part of the solution to the problem of democratic deficit in the development and implementation of policy. This article considers the democratic function of different arrangements for public participation, with reference to alternative rationales for democratic engagement in the health services context. We review the limitations of aggregative and representative notions, before exploring the senses in…
Embedding Economic Relationships through Social Learning? The Limits of Patient and Public Involvement in Healthcare Governance in England
The strategy for NHS modernization in England is privileging individual choice over collective voice in the governance of healthcare. This paper explores the tension between economic and democratic strands in the current reform agenda, drawing on sociological conceptions of embeddedness and on theories of reflexive governance. Building on a Polanyian account of the disembedding effects of the increasing commercialization of health services, we co…
Contracts in the English NHS
This paper draws parallels between the market trend in the English NHS and Polanyi’s (1957) The Great Transformation: The political and economic origins of our time, Beacon Press: Boston (originally published in 1944 in the United States as The Great Transformation, Rinehart: and Co: New York, and in 1945 in England as Origins of our time, Gollancz: London) account of how the rise of markets provokes a self-protective counter-reaction that tries …

Choice vs. voice? PPI policies and the re‐positioning of the state in England and Wales
Context and Thesis Changing patient and public involvement (PPI) policies in England and Wales are analysed against the background of wider National Health Service (NHS) reforms and regulatory frameworks. We argue that the growing divergence of health policies is accompanied by a re‐positioning of the state vis‐à‐vis PPI, characterized by different mixes of centralized and decentralized regulatory instruments. Method Analysis of legislation and o…
Schisms in the Church
Since devolution, the four countries of the United Kingdom have pursued strikingly different National Health Service (NHS) reforms. While England created a supply-side market more radical than the previous internal market system, Wales moved to a softer version of the purchaser/provider split emphasizing localism. This article deploys institutional theory to analyze the forces shaping change, and describes the hybrid forms of economic organizatio…
Citizen Redress in Public Contracting for Human Services
This article examines from a regulatory perspective the legal position of citizens in respect of contracted out human services. It argues that the inadequate protection of individual interests and the public interest here is a reflection of increasingly complex relationships between the state and independent sectors, expressed in the essentially hybrid character of contemporary public service organisation. Accordingly a hybrid reform strategy, ra…
Values and Purpose in Government
This paper explores the relationship between theories of regulation and governmentality, showing how a synthesis of the two approaches may be used in the analysis of central‐local relations. The basis of the current trend towards greater partnership and cooperation in the regulation of local by central government is argued to lie in the linking of increasingly selective imperium and dominium controls with ‘responsibilization’ strategies involving…
Regulating Government by Contract
Housing Management in Three Metropolitan Local Authorities
This article evaluates the impact of compulsory competitive tendering (CCT) for housing management services in three local authorities, examining the extent of any organisational changes and improvements in effectiveness of service provision under the compulsory regime. Despite similarities in respect of tendering procedures, the formal appearance of contractual relationships and the choice of in-house rather than private providers, there were si…

Competition and Contracting in the Transition from CCT to Best Value
Following publication of the government’s proposals for a statutory framework of Best Value, and the introduction of regulations increasing the flexibility of CCT pending its abolition, this paper examines the relationship between the compulsory regime and its likely successor. First, the paper suggests that the Best Value frame‐work is likely to impose a range of regulatory, monitoring and enforcement constraints similar in effect to the formal …

The Limits of Near-Contractual Governance
Contract has played a major part in the restructuring of the public sector in Britain over the past fourteen years. The radical Conservative assault on the concept of public service provision, and the progressive transformation of the state into a purchasing operation run along private business lines, have involved contract in the introduction of internal markets together with market-based management techniques, the creation of semi-independent a…
Contract and Business Transactions
Empirical studies demonstrating the non-contractual nature of business relations1 have tended to suffer from both the lack of any coherent socio-legal perspective2 and the failure to take proper account of important doctrinal developments within the law of obligations.3 In arguing that a Weberian theoretical model may be developed and used in the reappraisal of results of existing studies and in further empirical research,4 I am assuming that an …

Private Property and Public Order
The so-called 'hippy convoy', finally dispersed on June 9 after three weeks of panic over the supposed threat to private property rights, has placed on the agenda once again the question of the need for criminal trespass law. On June 4, after pressure from the National Farmers' Union, the Country Landowners' Association and west-country Tory M.P.s, and in a climate of outrage fostered by generally hostile media coverage of the convoy, the Cabinet…
