AB  - The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland has been a leader in theadvance towards open access to scholarship and research.1 Indeed, a combinationof centralized, state research-funding bodies, coupled with a nationwide opennessand transparency agenda has created an economic and political climate in whichdiscourses of open science and scholarship can flourish. Although different parts ofUK policy on open access have not been universally well received by those in theacademy and those in publishing, there have also been two official parliamentaryhearings into open access; a set of reviews and recommendations, headed by ProfessorAdam Tickell; and a variety of implementation strategies from different privateand public funders and institutions. In this chapter, I will briefly cover the politicaland economic elements of open access as they have emerged in the UK, spanning:funders, politics, institutions, publishers, and academics.
