Policymaking, Communication, and Social Learning presents Sir
Geoffrey Vickers's seminal essays on policymaking and related
issues facing modern Western culture. These essays, many of them
published here for the first time, illustrate the range of Sir
Geoffrey's thought, and also articulate certain recurrent themes.
He portrays a unique view of policymaking, building on his notion
of "appreciation" and focusing on the processes of reflection and
communication in setting and changing the tacit norms which govern
our conduct. These themes culminate in his perception of the
emerging challenges facing the professions, and in what he sees as
the educational requirements implied by these challenges. Vickers
was a master of the English language. He writes vividly, blending
concrete example with more general statement. As a result, this
volume will appeal to a wide audience concerned with issues of
public governance, regulation, communication, ecology, value
conflict and resolution, the modern role of the professions,
education, and ethics.
