Editorial Reviews

"Jan Kooiman is one of the world's leading experts on governance. This

seminal new book will mark an important contribution to our understanding of contemporary forms of governance ". - Prof. Stephen P Osborne, Aston University

"...it is precisely Kooiman's 'bold' and challenging conception of governance and its sheer distance from conventional notions of government, democracy, and public policy that gives it a 'leading edge' flavour." - Roger Sibeon, University of Liverpool
