The changing relationship between the private and public sectors: Privatisation and rural Britain
Abstract The late 1970s and 1980s have witnessed the rise to power of governments in developed nations who have tended to espouse broadly similar economic policies. Similarities between these policies have been collectively described as a ‘new right’ movement. New right economic policies involve a number of different strands, but include the concept of privatisation: a transfer of responsibilities for some production units and some services from the private sector to the public sector. The understanding of rural planning and policy-making has begun to be set in the context of the role of the state. Consequently the marked shift from state provision to market-oriented private sector provision should be an important topic for consideration by rural researchers. This paper investigates the concept of privatisation in its new right context and offers an initial analysis of the actual and potential impacts of privatisation in rural areas using the example of policies in Thatcher's Britain.
