Scholars and practitioners alike in the historic environment have long felt the pressures of changing government agendas, shifts in funding, and changing global priorities. Over the past two years government reshuffles have seen changes in personnel at the UK Ministry for Culture, Communications and Creative Industries and numerous consultations relating to the environment. The new conservative government elected on 12th December 2019 promises further change. In 2019 alone, the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government Robert Jenrick MP launched a new campaign to protect local heritage buildings in addition to a recent announcement of a £95 million fund to unlock the economic potential of 69 historic high streets. Yet at the same time the Heritage Alliance are continuing discussions with DCMS and the Home office on the proposed immigration system after potential EU Exit, including salary thresholds for heritage professionals applying for working visas and organisational preparedness for nodeal Brexit. While Brexit seems to dominate most agendas, a collaborative and transparent historic environment community continues to support efforts to highlight relevant work as well as reshape research to understand further the scale of challenges faced by the sector and how to respond to them. As part of that effort, the remit of this journal is both international in outlook and world-wide in scope, with members of the editorial board in both hemispheres with interests which span the complexities of the historic environment. Amongst the advantages of a global perspective is the level of engagement in contemporary debate, and in recent years the publication list of papers has included commentary on the principles of heritage practice and case studies illustrating how the apparatus of heritage conservation functions in a wide range of situations. Interpretation of policy in any administration is a key subject area with important implications for the implementation of conservation policy at local, regional and national levels. In some areas, national engagement and interpretation may have important implications for international practice. In this age of globalisation the study of a particular administration’s policy is an important aspect of public and academic interest, part of a discourse contributing to and informing the development of common definitions, themes, solutions and priorities. This Special Issue of the journal was inspired by the AHRC Heritage/Rescue conference ‘Engaging with Policy in the UK: Responding to Changes in Planning, Heritage and the Arts’, held at the University College London, Institute of Archaeology on 27 October 2018. Its purpose was to promote further the dialogue between those involved with the historic environment and related fields, to draw on and bring together transdisciplinary and crosssectoral perspectives on a range of critical changes in UK policy. Its objective was to provide a detailed case study of engagement with English policy in relation to the historic and natural environment and the role of governance. The conference addressed challenges and THE HISTORIC ENVIRONMENT: POLICY & PRACTICE 2019, VOL. 10, NOS. 3–4, 245–254 https://doi.org/10.1080/17567505.2019.1701771

参与英格兰的政策-代理，解释和实施

历史环境中的学者和实践者都长期感受到了改变政府议程，资金转移和改变全球优先事项的压力。在过去的两年中，政府进行了改组，英国文化，通信和创意产业部的人事变动以及与环境有关的众多磋商。2019年12月12日选举产生的新保守党政府承诺将进一步改革。仅在2019年，住房，社区和地方政府大臣罗伯特·詹里克（Robert Jenrick）国会议员就发起了一项新的运动，以保护当地的文物建筑，最近还宣布了一项9500万英镑的基金，以释放69条历史悠久的大街的经济潜力。然而，与此同时，遗产联盟正在继续与DCMS和内政部就可能退出欧盟后的拟议移民制度进行讨论，包括申请工作签证的遗产专业人士的工资门槛和节点退欧的组织准备。尽管英国脱欧似乎在大多数议程中占主导地位，但一个协作，透明的历史环境社区继续支持着重突出相关工作的努力，并重塑研究以进一步了解该部门所面临挑战的规模以及如何应对这些挑战。作为这项工作的一部分，该期刊的职责既具有国际视野，又具有全球范围，两个半球的编辑委员会成员的兴趣都跨越了历史环境的复杂性。从全球角度来看，优势在于参与当代辩论的水平，近年来，发表的论文清单包括对遗产实践原则的评论和案例研究，这些实例说明了遗产保护的手段在广泛的保护范围内如何发挥作用。情况。任何行政管理部门对政策的解释都是一个关键主题领域，对在地方，地区和国家各级实施保护政策具有重要意义。在某些领域，国家参与和解释可能会对国际惯例产生重要影响。在当今全球化的时代，对特定政府政策的研究是公共和学术利益的重要方面，是有助于并告知共同定义，主题，解决方案和优先事项。该期刊的特刊受到2018年10月27日在伦敦大学学院考古学院举行的AHRC遗产/救援会议``参与英国的政策：应对规划，遗产和艺术的变化''的启发。其目的是进一步促进与历史环境和相关领域有关的人员之间的对话，以跨学科和跨部门的观点并将英国政策的一系列重大变化汇集在一起​​。其目的是提供有关与历史和自然环境以及治理作用相关的英国政策参与的详细案例研究。会议讨论了挑战和《历史环境：政策与实践2019》，VOL。10号 3-4、245-254 https://doi.org/10.1080/17567505.2019。
