Advising Ministers

Advising Ministers Synopsis

First published in 1969, Advising Ministers is a general account of the arrangements for 'advising Ministers', based on a case-study, enabling the reader to judge the effectiveness of an advisory body in a particular case, which itself gained much publicity and in which hopes were high that results would be achieved. Mr. Smith's conclusions are based on published material and informed, shrewd deduction to provide a valuable addition to the all too meagre case-study material on British administration. This book will be of interest to students of history, sociology, economics and political science.
