Beyond Westminster and Whitehall provides the first comprehensive
account of the range of sub-central government institutions that
are responsible for the delivery of services to citizens. These
bodies are the warp and weft of the British system of government
and yet are all too frequently ignored. For a full understanding of
British government, the study of sub-central government is of
equivalent importance to that of the Prime Minister, the Cabinet,
and Parliament. Westminster and Whitehall do not always get what
they want. There are a great many restraints upon the actions of
the centre, and central policies all too often have unintended
consequences. This book, demonstrating that Britain is not a
unitary state but a differentiated polity in which sub-central
governments play a key role, will be essential reading for teachers
and students of British politics.
