Rezensionen

"Government primarily provides goods and services by outsourcing them to third parties, yet this remains an underappreciated research area in public administration. Terman skillfully weaves the full picture of how government intersects with the market system to further public and social good - whether through contracts or public-private-partnerships. The book is a practical guide to understanding the role of networks and impact of transactional costs in managing a wide array of government functions through third party governance."
