The too difficult box is a political concept introduced by UK politician Charles Clarke to explain why politicians often opt out of taking action to fix many serious political issues. It is focused on UK politics but the book suggests that the principles apply to other countries. In 2011, Clarke originally expounded his ideas in a series of lectures at the University of East Anglia. In 2014, he launched the book ''The 'Too Difficult' Box: The Big Issues Politicians Can't Crack''. The introduction, conclusion and a chapter on immigration is written by Clarke. The rest of the book contains individual chapters (edited by Clarke) by past or current politicians or political commentators - each chapter covering a specific political issue considered to be in the too difficult box.〔(Charles Clarke - The Too Difficult Box: The Big Issues Politicians Can't Crack )〕 Some reasons Clarke gives explaining why politicians find some issues too difficult to deal with are:〔 * difficulty identifying the problem * difficulty identifying the solution * difficulty working out how to implement * difficulty overcoming vested interests * existing legal constraints * long winded process required to bring in legislation * lack of political energy. ==References== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Too difficult box」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
