  3. New Perspectives in Policy and Politics

The changing nature of politics and the contemporary challenges facing public and social policy demand new perspectives that contest existing assumptions and deliver new ways of understanding a changing world. The New Perspectives in Policy and Politics book series focuses on state-of-the-art contributions that aim to re-orient perennial debates and open-up emerging seams of research. Topics range from institutional reform to network governance, and from public expectations to political inequality. The series is inter-disciplinary in approach and international in scope. It seeks to publish books that are both theoretically-informed and policy-relevant. Most importantly, the fresh and innovative contributions to the series seek to challenge and redefine debates concerning both politics and public and social policy.
