What is local policy practice? (Part 2)


[A 7:48 minute video hosted on YouTube.  English subtitles can be turned on if required]

<<Previous in series: What is local policy practice? (Part 1)

This is the second video in a series providing an understanding of local level policy practice and its development.

I hope that you find it provides a helpful way of thinking about policy practice in terms of the sub-practices and diffuse practices that constitute it.

I look forward to our discussions.
