The British Administrative System by Grant Jordan
In this fresh and stimulating new textbook Grant Jordan explores the basic principles and concepts that are used to discuss policy making and public administration, showing there is a great and growing divide between theory and practice.`One of the many strenghts of Grant Jordan's honest but deeply pessimistic new book is that it drectly confronts and defends the role being played by academics in criticising contemporary reforms. His own analysis of "Next Steps", and the increasingly elusive doctrine of ministerial responsibility provides a telling indictment of intellectual confusion, as well as as some pointed and witty aporisms which will adorn essay titles and examination questions for years to come.' - Parliamentary Affairs
