Rezensionen

"This is an important and comprehensive book covering the links between networks and network governance, two topics often treated separately. The fact that they are integral to the design of this book makes it unique and allows Kapucu and Hu to weave in theory, methods, and examples that make it useful for both student and scholar. The emphasis on network leadership, decisionmaking, and politics adds human agency to research that largely uses structure to evaluate network performance."

H. Brinton Milward, University of Arizona, USA

"In a shared-power, no-one-wholly-in-charge world, we have no choice but to make use of networks and network governance to address public challenges that spill beyond organizational and jurisdictional boundaries. Naim Kapucu and Qian Hu have performed an invaluable service in synthesizing and clarifying a great deal of literature on network theory, methods, and governance experience to help all of us better understand how to address these major challenges."

John M. Bryson, University of Minnesota, USA

"The field of network governance is still evolving and Kapucu and Hu present an excellent base in which they present the state of the art of the field and at the same time make some original contributions to the field. More importantly, they also indicate how and where this field could be developed further."

Patrick Kenis, Tilburg University, the Netherlands

"Now governance and networks have become the 'new normal', books that elaborate and clarify this are more than welcome. This book offers a very good addition to the literature, covering the emergence and evaluation of networks as well as a number of important topics in the network literature."

Erik Hans Klijn, Erasmus University Rotterdam, the Netherlands

"This comprehensive guide to network governance across disciplines is a creative and innovative contribution to the literature. It is a 'must read' for anyone learning, doing, or just trying to understand network analysis. Highly recommended."

Rosemary O'Leary, Edwin O. Stene Distinguished Professor, University of Kansas, USA
