This original analysis of the creation of new state forms critically examines
the political forces that enabled `more and better management' to be presented
as a solution to the problems of the welfare state in Britain.
Examining the micro-politics within public service, the authors draw links
between politics, policies and organizational power to present an incisive and
dynamic account of the restructuring of social welfare. Clarke and Newman
expose the tensions and contradictions in the managerial state and trace the
emergence of new dilemmas in the provision of public services. They show that
these problems are connected to the recurring difficulties in defining `the
public' that receives these services. In particular they question whether the
reinvention of the public as either a nation of consumers or a nation of
communities can effectively address the implications of social diversity.
