‘Its comprehensiveness is a major achievement in such a diffuse and broad subject.’
– Peter John, West European Politics

‘The wide sweep of the book, with its extensive bibliography, would prove to be very helpful to students and researchers alike. I think it is a valuable addition to the repertory of textbooks available on the subject.’
– Kuldeep Mathur, Journal of Educational Planning and Administration

‘This is an excellent review and analysis of the public policy literature . . . Students and faculty can both profit from Parsons’ insights into the field.’
