Opis

This follow-up volume updates the arguments and significantly expands the coverage of Richardson et al.’s respected and seminal Policy Styles in Western Europe (1982) which shed valuable light on how countries tend to establish long-term and distinctive ways to make policies that transcend short-term imperatives and issues.
