The New Right Think Tanks and Policy Change in the Uk THE NEW RIGHT THINK TANKS AND POLICY CHANGE IN THE UK Andrew James Tesseyman DPhil Thesis University of York Politics Department Submitted, February 1999 Abstract It has often been claimed that, during the 1980s and early 1990s, the new right think tanks — namely the Institute of Economic Affairs (IEA), Centre for Policy Studies (CPS), and Adam Smith Institute (ASI) — had a major impact on policy-making and policy change. This thesis addresses such claims by examining three reforms in which the new right think tanks have been attributed an influence — bus deregulation, education reform, and prison privatisation. It seeks not only to empirically assess their impact, but also to relate these findings to the policy-making literature, in particular the Rhodes Model which emphasises policy continuity and the Advocacy Coalition Framework which seeks to explain policy change. It is argued that the new right think tanks had an impact on all three policy changes, as members of "advocacy coalitions", although the nature and extent of this impact varied. In some cases, the TEA, CPS, and ASI were able to have a direct impact on policy change, obtaining access to policy-makers through coalition allies. In other cases their impact was indirect, in shaping the broader "climate of ideas". The new right think tanks also contributed to new patterns of policy formulation, although there is limited evidence of any long-term structural impact on policy-making in these areas. It is also argued that the case studies raise a number of issues for the Rhodes Model and the Advocacy Coalition Framework, although these could be addressed by integrating the two to develop an approach to account for both policy continuity and policy change.

    ANTONY FISHER Champion of Liberty Gerald Frost First published in Great Britain in 2002 by Profile Books Ltd. Copyright: Gerald Frost Condensed in 2008 by David Moller Copyright: Institute of Economic Affairs. Additional material on Dorian Fisher supplied by Linda Whetstone and on the Atlas Economic Research Foundation by John Blundell and Colleen Dyble. 1 Introduction When Antony Fisher died in San Francisco on July 9, 1988, aged 73, four weeks after being knighted in the Queen’s birthday honours list, the world was largely unaware of him or his influence. He was not listed in Who’s Who. He was not well known to the British or American media. He had never held major elected office. Although he had made – and lost – a considerable fortune he relied during his latter years on the financial support of a rich and devoted second wife. The belated knighthood, which fitted the tall, sparse, handsome Englishman like a glove, was almost the sole public recognition he received during his lifetime, and this did not come until he was terminally ill. Only two politicians, Enoch Powell and Keith Joseph, attended his memorial service. That, however, would probably have been more a matter of satisfaction than of regret, since throughout his life the former businessman and decorated World War II pilot displayed an ill-concealed contempt for the generality of politicians. He believed that their capacity for harm far outweighed their ability to do good. Among MPs generally, probably only a handful were aware of Fisher’s remarkable influence. Yet in founding the Institute of Economic Affairs, the London-based free-market think tank, he had played a crucial role in helping to reverse economic trends that many had judged to be irreversible, thereby changing the direction of British post-war politics.

  • THINK TANK REVIEW JUNE 2017 Library and Research ISSUE 47
    Council of the European Union General Secretariat THINK TANK REVIEW JUNE 2017 Library and Research ISSUE 47 Dear Readers, Welcome to issue 47 of the Think Tank Review compiled by the EU Council Library* (click to share on Twitter). It references papers published in May 2017. As usual, we provide the link to the full text and a short abstract. This issue has a special focus on Africa, with think tanks focusing on EU-Africa relations, the nexus between food and nutrition security, and migration, long-term investments in Africa, Japan's security policy in Africa and why Africa matters to US national security. In the 'EU politics and institutions' section readers will find papers on European political advertising and on the impact of Brexit on the rights of EU citizens living in the UK and British citizens living in the EU27. Other papers in this section focus on right-wing populism in Europe and on coalition building in the EU. The 'Economic and financial affairs' section contains articles on risk sharing and consumption- smoothing patterns in the US and the euro area, restoring growth in Southern Europe, the evolutionary paths towards a European Monetary Fund and on the role of innovation in the sharing economy. In the 'EU Member States' section readers will find a rich selection of analyses on Germany, Spain and the UK. It includes articles on Indian high-skilled migrants and international students in Germany, defence expenditure in Spain and the damaging economics of UK employment regulation. The European Policy Centre has, together with local think tanks, published three national reports on the 'state of the Union' from a national perspective in Finland, Germany and Belgium.

  • Privatization and the Federal Government: an Introduction
    Order Code RL33777 Privatization and the Federal Government: An Introduction December 28, 2006 Kevin R. Kosar Analyst in American National Government Government and Finance Division Privatization and the Federal Government: An Introduction Summary During the past two decades, the privatization of federal agencies and activities has been much debated. That said, privatization — here defined as the use of the private sector in the provision of a good or service, the components of which include financing, operations (supplying, production, delivery), and quality control — is not a recent phenomenon. Since its founding in 1789, the federal government has used private firms to provide goods and services. Hence, privatization is of perennial interest to Congress. This report is an introduction to privatization in the federal governmental context. It discusses the emergence of privatization on the federal policy agenda in the late 1970s and early 1980s. To some, privatization appeared as an answer to the purported failures of “big government.” Privatization attracted political support due to its rhetorically persuasive rationales, purported benefits, and political attractiveness. However, privatization also has been controversial. Critics have complained that privatization is a form of union busting and that privatization can have unforseen and undesirable consequences. This report also supplies a typology of the various means through which federal agencies and activities have been privatized. The typology shows that privatization is not an either/or proposition. Rather, privatization, as this report’s definition implies, is a matter of degree. Policymakers may transfer to the private sector one or more of the components of government provision of goods and services — however many they deem appropriate.
