Summary:

Over the past two decades politicians have delegated many political decisions to expert agencies or quangos, and portrayed the associated issues, like monetary or drug policy, as being technocratic or managerial. At the same time an increasing number of important political decisions are being removed from democratic public debate altogether, leading many commentators to argue that they are part of a 'crisis c democracy' marking the 'end of polities'. Tracing the political uses a broad range of international case studies to chart the politicising and depoliticising dynamics that shape debates about the future of governance and the liberal democratic state. The book is part of the New Perspectives in Policy and Politics series, and will be an important text for students of politics and policy, as well as researchers and policy makers. Book jacket.
