Challenging governance theory by Jonathan S Davies
This topical book takes a critical look at contemporary governance theory, arguing that there are structural impediments to achieving an ideology of networks and reconsidering it from Marxist and Gramscian perspectives.
"Davies lays out a powerful critique of current calls to order in social policy and public services" Alex Law, University of Abertay, Dundee
"The book represents the culmination of many years of scholarship, and it is an excellent read. It is definitely one of the best syntheses of network governance currently in the market." Dialogues in Human Geography
"While a short volume..it nevertheless leaves a few cues to researchers to develop a more democratic and equitable architecture of government-sourced governing in which networks will be a necessary but never sufficient condition." Dipankar Sinha Political Studies Review
