Reviews

`The book offers by far the most systematic and elaborate account of the importance of institutional theory in political science. It gives both researchers and practitioners a lot of ideas about how to analyze and conduct political-administrative decision-making processes, seen through institutional lenses.' -- Tom Christensen, University of Oslo, Norway and Renmin University of China
