SynopsisOptions for Britain explores the current position of Britain across a wide range of policy areas, economic, political and social. It goes on to examine the policy options available over the next decade. Based on the work of a rage of experts from various disciplines, the book has arisen from the (ESRC funded) Nuffield Options for Britain project., This text explores the long-term policy options available to Britain as it moves into the 21st century. The report serves as a source of ideas and information to both policy-makers and to a wider audience, and should increase the honesty and imagination in political debate in Britain., Options for Britain analyses the policy choices facing Britain in the late 1990s and into the twenty-first century. It is the final report of the Options for Britain project that brought academics, civil servants, analysts and politicians together from across the policy community. The book covers economic, social and constitutional issues including: economic growth, unemployment, taxation policy, the welfare state, education and training, health, the family, crime, transport and the environment, housing and - on the constitution - devolution, representational reform, Britain's relationship to Europe, and the policy-making process itself.The book is systematic and rigorous but has been written in a style accessible to a wide ranging audience including policy-makers, journalists and the general public. Options for Britain has been written to inform and stimulate debate in the run-up to the next general election and beyond and wide media coverage is expected.
