Rezensionen

Winner of the 2015 IAP2 Australasia Research Award

'This is a very timely and important contribution to the increasingly urgent debate regarding the revitalisation of democracy. The author demonstrates the all-too-rare academic leadership that not only provides a powerful bridge between theory and practice but also navigates the frustrating divides that mysteriously persist between the fields of political theory, public administration, political leadership and political marketing. Jennifer Lees-Marshment gets my vote to become the world's first Minister of Public Input!'

Professor Brad Jackson, Head of School of Government, Victoria University of Wellington, New Zealand
