AB - This paper charts new ground by first considering a paradigmatic shift in the
nature of political decision making, driven by globalization and post-industrial
trends. Second, it uses an original methodology to identify political culture and
policy focus – a content analysis of some 60 websites of local authorities across
Britain. We hope that the substantive results as well as the methodological lessons
about how to study these issues systematically may interest British readers as well
as persons confronting similar issues around the world. We particularly recommend
the website analysis methodology as a relatively inexpensive procedure for
conducting research globally. Many local governments worldwide now have websites –
for instance over 80% of Korean local governments do, as Korean researchers
reported in starting a similar content analysis.
