Policy convergence and policy learning have emerged as central
themes in the study of public policy in recent years. This book
complements the rich literature on theoretical aspects as well as
individual case studies by undertaking a systematic comparison of
policy convergence between two specific countries, the UK and
Germany. Both are member-states of the EU and face similar policy
challenges across a number of policy sectors; as such, both are
ideally suited to such a comparison. In particular, in the late
1990s, the social-democratic governments of both countries
explicitly sought to develop common solutions under the heading of
the 'Third Way'. By including analyses of not only of institutions
but also of key areas of domestic and foreign policy, this volume
makes a unique contribution to the study of public policy in two of
the EU's key member-states. This book is also a dedication to
Professor William Paterson, who has contributed immensely to the
field of German Studies in Britain. This book was previously
published as a special issue of German Politics
