In order to address major social policy problems, governments need
to break down sectoral barriers and create better working
relationships between practitioners, policymakers and researchers.
Currently, major blockages exist, and stereotypes abound. Academics
are seen as out-of-touch and unresponsive, policymakers are
perceived to be justifying policy decisions, and the community
sector seeks more funding without demonstrating efficacy. These
stereotypes are born out of a lack of understanding of the work and
practices that exist across these three sectors. Drawing on
ground-breaking research and partnerships, with contributions from
senior public servants, this book explores the competing demands of
different actors involved in policy change. It challenges current
debates, assumptions and reflects a unique diversity of
experiences. Combined with differing theoretical perspectives, it
provides a uniquely practical insight for those seeking to
influence public policy. This innovative text provides essential
reading for community sector practitioners, academics and advanced
level students in public policy, social policy and public
administration, as well as for public service professionals.
