English A study of British coastal bathing water politics over the last 40 years reveals the extent to which the European Community has influenced a relatively stable policy area dominated by engineers and scientists, in which successive governments of different political hues defended the practice of depositing raw sewage into nearshore waters along short pipes. Together with the pressures arising from the privatisation of the water industry, European environmental ideas and policies have helped shift a previously stable policy community by offering new campaigning opportunities to environmental groups who were previously marginalised. The resulting changes in the goals and instruments of domestic policy are examined from the standpoint of Peter Hall’s model of social learning, which lays stress on the role of ideas in precipitating fundamental changes in policy over extended periods of time
