Comparing Policy Networks (Public Policy and Management) - Hardcover

Inhaltsangabe

Contributes to the increasing attention being paid to networks that link actors within a particular policy domain by looking at some key theoretical questions and the central issue of whether they affect policy outcomes. Anchored on four comparative case studies that explore such aspects as how networks change, the significance of interpersonal rather than structural links, whether certain groups dominate, and what methods are appropriate to study policy networks. Emphasizes the British and US approach, but also reviews the broader German-inspired continental approach, which considers the networks as a new form of governance distinct from the market, and hierarchy. Distributed in the US by Taylor and Francis. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.
