Transparency in Public Policy: Great Britain and the United States

Framed within the context of comparative international policy discussions, this volume examines how recent policy design has been influenced by combinations of market-based, regulatory and legal mechanisms. Five major public policy areas are discussed: health, education, environment, gun control and budgeting. The authors identify competing forces in policy design and investigate whether recent changes in policy design have been beneficial to the public.
