Handbook of Critical Policy Studies - Rilegato

'The editors and the contributors have produced what can only be described as the definitive guide to the growing field of critical policy studies. It is comprehensive and well written and will be welcomed by all students and practitioners of public policy and policy analysis. No personal or institutional library would be complete without it!' --- Wayne Parsons, Cardiff University, UK

'This comprehensive Handbook, with contributions from leading figures in the field, is a valuable source of information on practical and theoretical aspects of critical policy studies, its argumentative and deliberative turn and its methods of analysis, which is likely to stimulate further debate on the big issues in study and analysis of policy.' --- Norman Fairclough, Lancaster University, UK

'The field of critical policy studies goes from strength to strength, and this Handbook provides a much-needed review that will be essential reading for scholars, students, and practitioners. It is at the same time a critical introduction for those new to the field (including those coming from more conventional approaches to public policy), a comprehensive reference book for people in the field, and a guide to emerging issues and challenges in the study of the communicative practice of public policy.' --- John Dryzek, University of Canberra, Australia
