This is an examination of the distinctive features of policy-making adopted by the Hawke government in Australia in the 1980s in a wide range of policy arenas from wages to health, from Aboriginals to industry. It is argued that these distinctive features include a commitment to restructuring, both as an economic imperative and to improve the policy process, and a search for consultation and consensus to reduce potential policy-making processes. This book should be of interest to all those engaged in attempting to study the influence of policy processes. In particular it should be a suitable text for Australian politics, public policy and administration.
