First published in 1998, this volume examines how in the 1980s
Australian governments experienced dramatic change in the
policy-making environment. The use of consultants by successive
Hawke Labour governments in the mid-to-late 1980s to facilitate
reviews of public policy was a strategy important to dealing with
the complexity of these issues. This book shows how the use of
policy consultants complements traditional policy-making processes
and the management of public policy change by government. In the
1980s Australian governments experienced dramatic and often
unprecedented change in policy-making environment. Moves towards
market-orientated, 'small' government in a context of worlds
economic liberalisation created new and challenging issues for
national governments. The use of consultants by successive Hawke
Labour governments in the mid-to-late 1980s to facilitate reviews
of public policy was a strategy important to dealing with the
complexity of these issues. Using insights from a range of public
policy literatures, the research investigated the hypothesis that
the use of consultants to review important policy areas could be an
effective strategy for devising major new directions needed in a
context of economic turbulence. In this situation, the book
suggests, use of policy consultants complements traditional
policy-making processes and the management of public policy change
by government.
