Professor Pete Alcock

This seminar will explore the new policy environment emerging under the new Coalition Government in the UK, asking the question whether the rhetoric about the Big Society does signify a major shift in discourse and ideology underpinning policy on the sector. The paper will draw on material from the study of the presentation of third sector policy within the recent general election politics, and also more recent statements made by the leading members of the Coalition Government. There will also some brief speculation about the potential impact the devolution of third sector policy on the future development of government thinking and practice.

Pete Alcock is Director of the Third Sector Research Centre and Professor of Social Policy and Administration at the University of Birmingham.
