Rezensionen

'The latest text from Klijn and Koppenjan addresses the enduring topic of networks comprehensively and convincingly. While research on governance networks has made great strides over the past few decades, this outstanding text succeeds in summarizing what is known about networks as well as anticipating what will be important in the future.' - Professor Michael McGuire, Indiana University, USA

'This book is the most comprehensive consideration of governance networks available, systematically spanning its theoretical foundations and providing strategies and practical guidelines for analysing and managing networks. The authors also provide new overviews of governance networks' democratic legitimacy, accountability mechanisms, and evaluation processes. Academics, students and practitioners will all find this an extremely useful reference.' - Professor Jenny M Lewis, The University of Melbourne, Australia

'Twenty years in the making, this book is the definitive manual on how to analyze, manage and assess governance networks.' - Professor Rod A. W. Rhodes, University of Southampton, UK
