With secularism and an undefined relationship between the state and morality, public policy responses to pressures for changes in the moral sphere have been sluggish and haphazard. Drawing together and adding to the latest thinking on morality, its causes, shifts, tensions, divergences and common features, Morality and Public Policy is intended to contribute to the rectification of this deficit. It puts forward proposals to enhance the capacity of public policy to respond flexibly and in a more timely fashion to shifts in social mores and moral perceptions within different cultural contexts.Seeking to stimulate public debate the book is designed for policy makers and influencers, stakeholders in the field across religious and non- religious boundaries, advocacy organisations, academic institutions, think - tanks and, via the media, the wider public.
Industry Reviews
"Clem Henricson eschews the simplistic polarisations that so often characterise the discussion of morality in the public sphere. Her engaging book combines a subtle and balanced analysis with a convincing case that policy makers can and should do morality better." Matthew Taylor, Chief Executive, RSA
"An original analysis of the connections between moral sphere and public policy. Clem Henricson has produced a book of major significance to our understanding of how governments should do morality." Professor Kimmo Jokinen, University of Jyvaskyla, Finland
