Reviews

Matt Evans has written an important and insightful book about public policy. His case study of Israel's planning and population dispersal policies is used to illustrate the intricacies and complexities of the concept of tools in policy implementation. His study contributes to a clarification and better understanding of this concept. He also shows how the concept can be used analytically to study and explain public policy. The book should be of interest to students of comparative public policy and policy implementation. -- Fred A. Lazin An extraordinary amount of research has produced a definitive work on Israeli planning and decision making. The neglected study of the effect of electoral competition on policy formation finally gets the attention it deserves. Scholars everywhere will need to consult Evans. His use of policy tools is cutting edge. The book is indispensable. -- Rich, Paul
