Opis

Interpreting Governance, High Politics and Public Policy offers the latest perspectives on the interpretivist approach to governance and public policy. Commemorating more than a decade of research on governance by Mark Bevir and R.A.W. Rhodes, this book is not a review of the past but a guide to how insights from the interpretive perspective can be used to advance the study of governance by researchers outside the interpretivist fold.
