"A good overview of the perspective followed by Giandomenico Majone in his study of the policy process. . . . The book is excellent for those interested in public policy, and a good introduction to the previous works of the author."?Guy Lachapelle, Canadian Journal of Political Science
"Majone offers a new conception of the policy process, and it deserves attention."?Lance deHaven-Smith, Journal of Politics
"This book is well worth reading to gain a better appreciation of the strengths and limits of analysis."?Peter J. May, Policy Sciences
"A very well-orchestrated presentation interspersed with examples from diverse areas such as the international monetary system, the Occupational Safety and Health Act, pollution control, and social security policy. It is a highly useful book for courses in policy analysis and program evaluation."?Dennis J. Palumbo, Perspectives on Political Science
"Giandomenico Majone knows this field from the inside. . . . Quite [concise], but with a wealth of supporting detail and citations. . . . Displays a sanity and wisdom that are sorely needed in a culture whose ruling totem is still Homo economicus"?Jerome R. Ravetz, Environment
"This book is addressed to policy analysts and presents a compelling argument for redefining their tasks. It is highly relevant for applied sociologists who are concerned with public policy analysis and who wish to place their work within this context. The book?s approach to policy analysis is one that is likely to grow in importance."?Duncan MacRae, Jr., Contemporary Sociology
"Majone has written a series of thoughtful essays on policy analysis. . . . Interesting. . . . An important addition to graduate collections."?Choice
"Majone restores persuasion?rhetoric, argument, advocacy, and their institutionalization?to the central place they deserve in the policy process. His book is a pleasure to read and to ponder."?Aaron Wildavsky, Professor of Political Science and Public Policy, University of California, Berkeley
"An interesting and important contribution to the literature on policy analysis."?Randall B. Ripley, The Ohio State University
