Reviews

[T]he volume is an impressive tour de force which engages many disciplines in order to explain the main tenets of the model of governance by numbers. Its contribution to constitutional studies is remarkable as it links the rise of governance to a pervasive model of organization of many social and legal institutions. -- Marco Goldoni, Glasgow University * International Journal of Constitutional Law * [A] highly readable if intellectually challenging effort to pin down the effects on law of the move to 'governance through numbers'. -- David Nelken, Dickson Poon School of Law, King's College London * Journal of Law and Society *
