ABSTRACT
This collection of essays analyses the extent to which public policy has converged in
the United Kingdom and Germany since the late 1990s. It examines the pressures for
convergence, both endogenous and exogenous, and the outcomes over a range of differ-
ent policy areas, discussing both the policy choices which have been made, and
whether convergence can be seen, and also, as far as is possible, the pressures under-
lying those choices.
