Alberto Brugnoli and Alessandro Colombo have put together an
important collection of essays on government and governance in
Italy and Britain. This richly documented comparative study
proposes to answer two key questions: how does the change from
government to governance emerge, and what enables this
transformation to survive and even to displace State-centric
solutions to public policy issues? The book will be a milestone in
highlighting the distinctive and original role of the principle of
subsidiarity, in examining and assessing governance regimes, their
philosophy and their organizational choices and in linking
subsidiarity with the prospects of freedom, responsibility and
self-governing societies in the modern world. I know of no other
book that brings the principle of subsidiarity to the frontier of
the most current research in social science.' - Filippo Sabetti,
McGill University, CanadaThis unique and original book focuses on
institutional changes, welfare reforms and transformations in both
Britain and Italy over the last three decades. The book illustrates
that although it was a widely held belief in both countries that
the arena of social and economic governance would shift to the
national level, to the surprise of many, a different trend has
emerged. In otherwise very different national experiences, both
Britain and Italy have seen the sub-national level of governance
become crucial in redefining public services, and in designing,
delivering, and monitoring key services. The expert contributors
use a distinctive and original principle - subsidiarity - as a lens
through which to examine and assess these governance regimes, their
philosophies, and their organizational choices. Academics,
researchers and students of social policy, public policy, public
administration and regional studies will find this book to be a
highly fascinating read. It will also provide a wealth of
information for policymakers and think tanks.
