Description and Table of Contents
Description
When Mrs Thatcher began her third term, she announced her intention to do something about the inner cities. How far has she followed this through? What are the implications of her Government's initiatives? What is wrong with current policy and what alternative approaches should be sought? These are the questions considered in this topical collection of essays by experts in the field. The book brings together analyses and proposals from a range of disciplines. The contributors, who include John Benyon, John Solomos, Robert Teiner, Paul Corrigan, Peter Townsend and Hilary Land , have in common an impatience with the easy orthodoxies of Left and Right. The essays take an inter-disciplinary approach and are written in style accessible to the general reader. Each sets out recent trends, and describes the current context before offering guidelines for a change of direction in policy for the 1990s.
