The
public sector, in its organisation and definition, is an expression of
a particular social settlement, which, in the UK, is currently being reconstituted.
Choices are now being made which will influence both public and private
sectors - and their intimate relationship with each other - well into
the next century. This issue examines the nature of such choices, and
takes a comparative look at other societies in transition.
