Description
Book SynopsisTrade ReviewHallacher’s research is useful because little is understood about effects of networks on policymaking. There is a plethora of theoretical work, but minimal research where theories have been tested, applied, or analyzed in more specific detail. Hallacher’s inquiry accomplishes two important tasks. We are reminded that extensive differences exist between policy processes, and the importance of differentiation between policy subsystems is reinforced. Hallacher also presents a particularly succinct and useful overview of different approaches to the policy process over the last 35 years. * Step Ahead *
