Soft Power and Freedom Under the Coalition: State-Corporate Power and the Threat to Democracy

by Emma Bell

Book Overview

This study of five key policy areas, from welfare reform to foreign policy, demonstrates that the Conservative-Liberal Democrat coalition failed to fulfil its promise to reverse the rising power of the State. It exercised more subtle forms of 'soft power', often in partnership with the private sector, and to the detriment of ordinary citizens.
