Summary:
"Options for Britain II: Cross Cutting Policy Issues - Changes and Challenges offers an assessment of the last decade of British public policy that cuts across policy areas, such as measuring public sector performance, the role of the state, regulation, and Britain?s relationship with the EU. It provides evidence to show what has and has not worked in the Options For Britain II project, sets out key choices both for Britain's electorate and the next incoming government, regardless of its political make up, and questions how public policy has changed over the last ten years, addresses the most important current challenges, and provides options for an incoming government to address them."
