Der Artikel erörtert mögliche Beschäftigungseffekte der Abrüstung in den westlichen Industrieländern und in der (ehemaligen) UdSSR. Nach Schätzungen sind weltweit 10 Millionen Arbeitnehmer direkt oder indirekt in der Rüstungsindustrie beschäftigt; eine Reduktion der Rüstungsausgaben um 20 Prozent würde etwa 1,2 Millionen Arbeitsplätze weltweit abbauen. Nach Auffassung des Autors beschleunigt die Abrüstung insbesondere in den Industrieländern den Wandel der sektoralen Struktur weg von der Verarbeitenden Industrie und hin zum Dienstleistungsbereich.

Originally published in 1956, this book outlines the history of delegation in local government since the establishment of county councils in 1888. It describes the use made of delegation over a wide range of council services. The technique of delegation has become more important in recent years and represents the compromise of the competing claims of county and district councils to control local government. This book is an important contribution both to the detailed study of local administration and to the debate on the future pattern of local government.

Originally published in 1970, this book has a dual purpose. Firstly, it is a study of how Parliament works when the party whips are withdrawn. The author shows how backbenchers can create legislation of great importance; he demonstrates the obstacles, political and procedural to social reform; he relates the votes of MPs to their personal characteristics e.g. age, religion and occupation, and he argues that Parliament achieves a fresh vigour and authority when MPs think and act independently of party policy. Secondly, Parliament and Conscience analyses 6 major controversies in British society in the late 20th Century: the death penalty, homosexuality, abortion, theatre censorship, divorce and Sunday entertainment.

Originally published in 1973 and revised as a third edition in 1978, this book provides a concise introductory account of the system of local administration since the Local Government Act of 1972 produced the most-far-reaching change in England and Wales since 1888.
