The arrival of the welfare state in Western Europe brought with it a vast expansion in the role of government. That expansion led to fears that the increased expectations of citizens would lead to government overload. This book sheds new light on the idea of a crisis of "ungovernability." By examining the expanding scope of government in the post-War period, and drawing on a vast data set stretching back over the last two decades and right across Europe, the book reveals public attitudes towards the range and extant of government activity.

Attitudes towards government intervention in the economy, the environment, and the media are also examined.
