This original analysis of the creation of new state forms
critically examines the political forces that enabled `more and
better management' to be presented as a solution to the problems of
the welfare state in Britain. Examining the micro-politics within
public service, the authors draw links between politics, policies
and organizational power to present an incisive and dynamic account
of the restructuring of social welfare. Clarke and Newman expose
the tensions and contradictions in the managerial state and trace
the emergence of new dilemmas in the provision of public services.
They show that these problems are connected to the recurring
difficulties in defining `the public' that receives these services.
In particular they question whether the reinvention of the public
as either a nation of consumers or a nation of communities can
effectively address the implications of social diversity.
