Abstract: "Climate change, demographic shifts, the response to greater ethnic and religious diversity, debates about community and local politics, democratisation, nudge, the international financial crisis, popular disillusion with politics and politicians: these are among the most challenging developments in British society that face policy makers. Academic debates may identify a range of ways in which such issues can be understood and tackled, but policy is typically based on a narrow subset of possible approaches"--Provided by publisher.
