Recenzje

'Joseph's highly readable study of governance practices is packed with contemporary and in-depth empirical and conceptual insights. Highlighting the proliferation of resilience-thinking across key policy areas, the analytical focus is the importance of social, political and international context for understanding variations in governance strategies, practices and discourses. This book will be a must read reference for those concerned with the changing nature of contemporary governance regimes.' David Chandler, University of Westminster
