A season for change? Three hopes for the Burnham government
As political life resumes in earnest after the Summer break, we explore – in a three-part series – the possibility and pitfalls of relational reform under the new Burnham government.
A season for change? Part one: Devolution – a winding path toward relational reform
We explore the possibilities of devolution: a necessary but insufficient condition for relational reform. This is part one of a three-part series by Rich Bell, exploring the possibility and pitfalls of relational reform under the new Burnham government.
A season for change? Part two: Public service reform – a chance to build a more relational state
We discuss how the government’s emerging public service reform agenda could make a guiding focus on the power of human relationships a core feature of how the modern state works. This is part two of a three-part series by Rich Bell, exploring the possibility and pitfalls of relational reform under the new Burnham government.
A season for change? Part three: Social care – a critical test
We argue that the approach the government takes to overhauling our creaking social care system in the coming year will provide vital insight into whether it will in fact pursue a meaningful project of relational public service reform. This is part three of a three-part series by Rich Bell, exploring the possibility and pitfalls of relational reform under the new Burnham government.
