Conclusion. 330 $a?In this meticulous study, Leanne McCarthy-Cotter traces the unhappy career of the 1991 Child Support Act - one of several misbegotten effects of Britain's dalliance with 'Thatcherism'. In particular, she warns against the uncritical transfer of policy ideas which might have been successful in one socio-political context to another country, without consideration of the very different factors at play. Apart from its obvious value to serious students of British politics, this book also provides policy-makers everywhere with an invaluable 'not-to-do' list.? ?Mark Garnett, Lancaster University, UK This book assesses the 1991 Child Support Act and demonstrates how its failure was ?foreseeable? and ?foreseen?. It provides an understanding of the creation, and failure, of the Act, as well as providing an examination of the British policy-making process. The book re-introduces the ?stages approach? as an appropriate framework for examining policy-making in general, and analysing policy failure in particular. It draws on evidence gained through interviews, official documents, unpublished consultation responses, Parliamentary debates, and materials from pressure groups and think-tanks, as well as academic literature. The 1991 Child Support Act is seen as one of the most controversial and notorious policy failures in Britain. However it has received relatively little academic attention. An in-depth analysis of the policy-making process that led to the development and passage of this deeply flawed policy has largely been neglected: this book fills that gap. Leanne McCarthy-Cotter is Head of Policy for a UK trade union. Dr McCarthy-Cotter?s research is in the fields of governance, policy, and legislation studies, particularly focusing on policy design. 606 $aPublic policy 606 $aLegislative bodies 606 $aPolitical science 606 $aPolitical theory 606 $aPolitical leadership 606 $aEconomic development 606 $aYouth in development 606 $aPublic Policy$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/911060 606 $aLegislative and Executive Politics$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/911240 606 $aGovernance and Government$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/911220 606 $aPolitical Theory$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/911010 606 $aPolitical Leadership$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/911230 606 $aDevelopment and Children$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/913090 615 0$aPublic policy. 615 0$aLegislative bodies. 615 0$aPolitical science. 615 0$aPolitical theory. 615 0$aPolitical leadership. 615 0$aEconomic development. 615 0$aYouth in development. 615 14$aPublic Policy. 615 24$aLegislative and Executive Politics. 615 24$aGovernance and Government. 615 24$aPolitical Theory. 615 24$aPolitical Leadership. 615 24$aDevelopment and Children. 676 $a346.410172 700 $aMcCarthy-Cotter$b Leanne$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$01065656 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910338057203321 996 $aThe 1991 Child Support Act$92547399 997 $aUNINA
