Australian Public Policy: Progressive Ideas in the Neo-Liberal Ascendency

Editat de Chris Miller, Lionel Orchard
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 16 feb 2016
At a time when neoliberal and conservative politics are in the ascendency in Australia, and social democracy is suffering, Australian Public Policy makes a powerful case for the values and goals of progressive public policy. It brings together leading figures from the academic and the policy worlds to explore economic, environmental, social, cultural, and indigenous rights issues, and it offers valuable insights into the goals and practicality of progressive programs that will be of use not just within Australia, but throughout the world.

Recenzii

Australian Public Policy and its progressive version of the liberty/equality/community equation is a must read for social democrats looking to recharge their batteries.”

"The book leaves the reader with a sense that without care being taken, policy becomes a dry husk, unable to cultivate social, economic, or environmental change in order for individuals or society to flourish. Consequently, this book will be of interest to policy makers and academics alike, both for its analysis of historical trends and in terms of prompting thought about future directions."
