<p>'...Dibben et al are to be congratulated on making a useful contribution to the debate. The book succeeds in its stated aim of providing a comprehensive analysis of public-sector 'modernization' effects on the workforce. Although it is comprehensive, it does not lack depth and the chapters are clear and generally well written throughout.' Philip Morgan, British Journal of Industrial Relations 46:1 March 08</p>
