- This co-authored monograph is the first major study to take both a qualitative and quantitative approach to special advisors (spads). Using an original database of 600+ spads, written surveys and interviews with 100+ special advisors, ministers and officials from over the past 30 years, this is a comprehensive examination of the place of spads in UK government. Special Advisors is the sole output of this extensive project – led by Yong – which subjects this entirely novel source of data to original analysis, providing considerable insight into an opaque element of the UK’s governance structures.
