DESCRIPTION:In order to understand the modern policy-making environment\, 
 researchers need to grasp one of the most important trends in the organisa
 tion of democratic states since the 1990s - the shift away from policy-mak
 ing as an activity internal to a central governing authority and towards (
 a) a more diffuse set of networks involving corporate actors\, NGOs and ex
 perts\; and(b) the growing impetus to devolve decisions and responsibiliti
 es to sub-state tiers of government. These trends have had some important 
 and unforeseen consequences\, and have a mixed record in solving the probl
 ems for which they were designed. Michael Kenny will examine these changes
  in the UK context\, and consider some of the challenges which a more disp
 ersed system of governance raises for researchers seeking to achieve impac
 t upon public policy.\n\nChaired by Professor Dame Theresa Marteau\, Direc
 tor of Behaviour and Health Research Unit \n\n
