Synopsis

One of the most prevailing myths within the social sciences is the difficulty of achieving reform. Governments are either unwilling to push for reform or if they are willing, they are unable to do so. This volume illustrates that reform is not so miraculous at it may seem as reform does happen. Through carefully selected case studies, this book informs readers of reforms in several policy sectors and countries such as the smoking bans in Ireland, public housing in the Netherlands and asylum procedures in Germany. Designed to enhance our understanding of the reform process, this volume is highly suited to courses on the public administration and policy.
