- Anneliese Dodds, Political Studies Review,
<i>'. . . an important new book that will be of interest to many within the field. . . If you are looking for a provocative and thoughtful analysis and a realistic discussion grounded in a wealth of empirically based research and case studies it is a very worthwhile read.'</i>
- Gerhard Hammerschmid, Public Management Review,
Until now, there has been little attempt to link the study on regulation and regulatory reforms with that of autonomous central agencies. In this book the two fields are brought together.
Autonomy and Regulation will find its audience amongst scholars and researchers working in the areas of political science, public administration and public management, organization theory, institutional analyses and comparative administration. It will also appeal to scholars and those directly involved in public sector and regulatory reforms including politicians and managers.
