For the first two thirds of the twentieth century, British
government was among the most stable in the advanced industrial
world. In the last three decades, the governing arrangements have
been in turmoil and the country has been a pioneer in economic
reform, and in public sector change. In this book, Michael Moran
examines and explains the contrast between these two epochs. What
turned Britain into a laboratory of political innovation? Britain
became a formal democracy at the start of the twentieth century but
the practice of government remained oligarchic. From the 1970s this
oligarchy collapsed under the pressure of economic crisis. The
British regulatory state is being constructed in its place. Moran
challenges the prevailing view that this new state is liberal or
decentralizing. Instead he argues that it is a new, threatening
kind of interventionist state which is colonizing, dominating, and
centralizing hitherto independent domains of civil society. The
book is essential reading for all those interested in British
political development and in the nature and impact of regulation.
