本文分析了英国自行车政策与向空心化的新自由主义国家转变的关系。在英国，只有在政策制定被各种外包给私人、半私人和志愿组织之后，自行车运动才被纳入公共政策。本文认为，这种更广泛的背景下，导致了持续的失败，以对待骑自行车作为一个具有重要战略意义的模式值得大量的国家交通资金。其次，该文件之间的联系，越来越多的政策重点“积极”和“负责任”的公民，和分散的自行车政策远离交通到其他领域，包括公共卫生和环境。有人认为，虽然有好处，这一结构，它再次有助于保持自行车被视为外围的主要业务的“运输”。自行车政策已经双重下放，远离国家，远离交通。这对政策和宣传的影响进行了讨论，并为两者的未来方向，最后概述。(C)2012爱思唯尔有限公司保留所有权利。
This paper analyses UK cycling policy in relation to the shift towards a hollowed-out neoliberal state. In the UK, cycling became embedded in public policy only after policy-making had been variously outsourced to private, quasi-private, and voluntary organisations. The paper argues that this broader context has contributed to the ongoing failure to treat cycling as a strategically important mode meriting substantial national transport funding. Secondly, the paper makes links between a growing policy focus on 'active' and 'responsible' citizenship, and the dispersal of cycling policy away from transport into other areas including public health and the environment. It is argued that while there are benefits to this construct, it has again helped to maintain cycling as perceived as being peripheral to the main business of 'transport'. Cycling policy has been doubly devolved, away from the state, and away from transport. The implications of this for policy and advocacy are discussed and future directions for both are finally outlined. (C) 2012 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
