Policy Agendas in British Politics

by P John, A. Bertelli, W. Jennings, and S. Bevan

Published 1 January 2013

Using a unique dataset spanning fifty years of policy-making in Britain, this book traces how topics like the economy, international affairs, and crime have shifted in importance. It takes a new approach to agenda setting called focused adaptation, and sheds new light on key points of change in British politics, such as Thatcherism and New Labour.
