The problem relates to the failure to manage delegation in Britain. And yet we actually know very little about how the state beyond the core actually operates, how many bodies exist, what they do, how they are recruited, or why they were created. These gaps in our knowledge are all the more problematic in light of recent pronouncements by politicians at the national and European levels that 'depoliticization' is a central strand of their approach to governing.
Delegated public bodies as they have been used as a tool of governance in the past should not be confused with how they might be used in the future.
This book draws upon research conducted within the very core of the British political system during a Whitehall Fellowship within the Cabinet Office. It argues that the British state is 'walking without order' due to a general acceptance of the logic of delegation without any detailed or principled consideration of the administrative of democratic consequences of this process.
DELEGATED GOVERNANCE AND THE BRITISH STATE: WALKING WITHOUT ORDER ‐ by Matthew Flinders. Andrew Massey. University of. Delegated Governance and the British State. Walking without Order. Matthew Flinders. Major new analysis of a key development in British.
In order to underline and develop this argument this book analyses the history of delegated governance in Britain before mapping out the topography of the state beyond the core. Delineating the contours of the state in this way, as well as drawing on theoretical models and insights that have been developed in not only other disciplines but also in relation to other governance frameworks, provides new perspectives on perennial themes and issues.
As such the research presented in this book and the conceptual framework it develops will be of interest to scholars, practitioners and politicians around the world with an interest in multi-level governance, public policy, and democratic design. List of Tables and Diagrams List of Abbreviations 1.
