Reviews
'This book gives a comprehensive analysis and explanation of the provision of social and public services in five European countries. Despite Norway not being a member of the EU, these policy areas deliver a keen lesson in the Europeanization of public policy and the convergence of European states' approach to governance. It is a book that will become required reading on MPAs and public administration/public management courses.' - Andrew Massey, University of Exeter, UK
