Two for One and One for All? Exploring the potential for integrating the sustainable development and social exclusion policy agendas in the UK, Karen Lucas (London: CfSD, University of Westminster, September 2000).
In January 1999, the University of Westminster allocated funding from its Research Seed Fund to the Centre for Sustainable Development at the University to undertake an exploratory research exercise into the policy interfaces between the Government's newly announced social exclusion programme. The primary aim of the research has been to examine the extent to which the rhetoric of policy integration is incorporated at both the conceptual and practical stages of local delivery, in the context of the seventeen New Deal for Communities 'pathfinder' areas. The study has been delivered in two phases, namely; a literature review and in-depth case studies in two of the 'pathfinder' areas. The study is significant in light of the Government's present commitment to Best Value and joined-up policy in the context of the Modernising Local Government Agenda.
