Abstract
It is reasonable to argue that the impact of new technology could produce an important challenge to the political system’s capacity to adapt to change. The impact of the new technology may also produce new interests and alliances. Already there has been an interesting example of attempted co-operation between the CDI and the TUC, against a background of government encouragement in the context of the NEDC. Discussions between the CDI and the TUC on the development of a joint approach to new technology initially went well. At one stage it appeared that an agreement on new technology had been reached. In the event, the CDI Council failed to ratify the ‘agreement’ and this particular initiative collapsed. However, a tripartite approach to new technology is now firmly established in the NEDC framework. Benefits of such an approach are unlikely to be spectacular though more gradual changes in attitudes to technological change may result.
