Review:

`Public Policy and Local Governance is an interesting and generally well-written book (this is no minor accomplishment given the sophistication of the argument and the fact that English is not Bogason's mother-tongue). Bogason engages a wide range of disciplines in his examination, including policy science, public administration, political philosophy, sociology, economics, and cultural theory - to name a few - and uses his enviable knowledge to produce an erudite, well-rounded argument for his suggested approach to public policy analysis. These features combine with others (including a substantial bibliography and a helpful index) to offer a thoughtful study that makes a useful contribution to the existing literature.' -- Shaun P. Young, Canadian Public Administration `This is a well-argued book.' -- Local Government Studies
