Artikelbeschreibung des Verkäufers

What are the political realities of policy-making inside Downing Street? This fascinating account of the premierships of Harold Wilson and James Callaghan provides a new insight into the conduct of the government in Britain. It is written with both the personal knowledge of an insider who worked at senior level in No. 10 and the authority of an academic who for many years has taught and studied British politics and central government in universities on both sides of the Atlantic. It gives a vivid picture of the interplay of personalities and style, in Cabinet and among Whitehall mandarins and their network of advisers, that startlingly documents the real world behind 'Yes, Prime Minister'. Bernard Donoughue charts Britain's progress through the dramas, the triumphs and the disasters of the 1970s. He analyses the problems which daunted governments of the day - and the policy solutions which were tried and found wanting. The nature of Prime Ministerial power is examined and the widely differing styles of the last two Labour Prime Ministers are contrasted with that of their successor, Margaret Thatcher, posing the question: has Cabinet government given way in the 1980s to Prime Ministerial government? As Senior Policy Adviser to the Prime Minster and founder and Head of the Downing Street Policy Unit, the author enjoyed a unique view from the summit as Britain staggered from oil crisis to incomes policy and the Social Contract, from inflation to IMF loans and the Winter of Discontent. Unemployment, militant trade unions, Ireland and the EEC all ring through these pages, as they do in newspapers today, while the institutions at the heart of British Government are scrutinised and laid bare. Enlivened by personal experience, this highly readable document of our time is at once essential for any student of British politics and a revealing guide for those who wish to know what actually happens once they have exercised their right to vote. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.…
