"""The book as a whole provides a coherent exploration of the topic and case, with little weakness overall. I enjoyed this book and recommend it for scholars interested in this topic generally and in the UK case specifically."" Public Organization Review"

Janice Morphet has produced an authoritative and first class account of outsourcing in the UK. The book is a 'must read' for students, researchers and teachers of public administration. John Connolly, University of the West of Scotland A scholarly and authoritative text for anyone interested or involved in outsourcing. Impressive in scope, it draws on multiple geographical scales and sectors, but is also embedded in broader narratives, ideologies and public perceptions on the topic. Illuminates in one place a hitherto disparate knowledge base. Joyce Liddle, Northumbria University This timely volume addresses the much neglected but important topic: how governments deliver goods and services to their citizens. Using an impressive range of policy areas, this analysis exposes the intensely political nature of outsourcing. Claire A. Dunlop, University of Exeter
