ISBN: 9781138019607 / Angielski / Twarda / 194 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. To understand public policy decisions, it is imperative to understand the capacities of the individual actors who are making them, how they think and feel about their role, and what drives and motivates them.

Yet understanding how personal and emotional factors interact with broader institutional and organisational...

ISBN: 9781433119682 / Angielski / Miękka / 160 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych.
