Learned plugging of Whitehall gaps
Article Abstract:
The operational activities of the UK government will be researched by 23 academics from different disciplines under the Whitehall project initiated by the Economic and Social Research Council. Little academic research has so far been made into this area, with most contributions so far made by journalists. Programme Coordinator Rod Rhodes anticipates the government will not be too secretive and prevent information from being collated, although he admits some access to material will probably be denied.

Global theatre
Article Abstract:
Globalisation has been described as 'the greatest threat to the existence of the progressive reformist left since 1945' by professor of politics, Paul Hirst. Hirst claims that the phenomenon is exaggerated, and professor of economics, Bob Rowthorn goes further to suggest that the growing trend is towards regionalisation. The arguments in defence of and against reports that the world is being transformed as a result of globalisation are given.

Banking on freedom
Article Abstract:
The withdrawal of the UK from the Exchage Rate Mechanism in autumn 1992 once again highlighted the subject of the Bank of England being independent, a move supported by Norman Lamont, Nivbelk Lawson and Eddie George, the new governor of the Bank of England. If the Bank is independent it can make decisions about monetary policies which will not be affected by the government-of-the-day's inflation policy.
