Books by Department of Government Dowding

Governments conveniently blame social problems on their citizens, placing too much emphasis on personal responsibility. This book shows that 'nudging' citizens to better behaviour simply isn't good enough and explains why we should hold our politicians responsible for social problems.

First time published in paperback and online and featuring a new Introduction and two new chapters this classic text explains how collective action problems underlie power inequalities and extensively engages with a body of new literature.
