Why has Japan found it easier than the United States to pursue a
consistent industrial policy? Why does Britain provide health care
collectively whereas France relies on private provision? Why is the
American government unable to ensure the safety of its citizens
whereas personal safety is not even an issue in Japan? Such
questions are central to the study of comparative public politics
and this textbook, first published in 1992, seeks to answer them by
integrating policy analysis with mainstream comparative politics.
The authors examine power and policy in four liberal democracies:
France, Japan, the United Kingdom and the United States. They
provide an introduction to the politics of these four leading
democracies, setting out the actors, arenas and agendas of policy
in each country. The following sections explore four contrasting
areas of policy: industrial, health, ethnic minorities and law and
order. In the final part these countries and sectors are discussed
from the perspectives of policy implementation, evaluation and
comparison.
