In order to understand the modern policy-making environment, researchers need to grasp one of the most important trends in the organisation of democratic states since the 1990s – the shift away from policy-making as an activity internal to a central governing authority and towards (a) a more diffuse set of networks involving corporate actors, NGOs and experts; and(b) the growing impetus to devolve decisions and responsibilities to sub-state tiers of government. These trends have had some important and unforeseen consequences, and have a mixed record in solving the problems for which they were designed. Michael Kenny will examine these changes in the UK context, and consider some of the challenges which a more dispersed system of governance raises for researchers seeking to achieve impact upon public policy.

Chaired by Professor Dame Theresa Marteau, Director of Behaviour and Health Research Unit
