Joined-up government is a complex, expensive and elusive goal, which has captured the imaginations of public administrators since the 1950s. It offers great promise for tackling the complex or `wicked' policy problems that concern the governments of industrialised countries. Despite ongoing interest, there remains and absence of core methods and principles to make joined-up governance work in practice. Grassroots to Government comprehensively explains the state of evidence in joined-up government, illustrated by an in-depth case study of the implementation experiences of a national initiative, the Australian Social Inclusion Agenda.
