Policy Styles and Policy-Making by Michael Howlett
This follow-up volume updates the arguments and significantly expands the coverage of Richardson et al.'s respected and seminal Policy Styles in Western Europe (1982) which shed valuable light on how countries tend to establish long-term and distinctive ways to make policies that transcend short-term imperatives and issues.
"This new edited volume makes a much needed contribution to the comparative study of national policy stylesIt does so by extending their study to include a wide and diverse range of countries - western and non-western, democratic and authoritarian and developed and developing. This is an informative, ambitious, and well-researched volume." - David Vogel, University of California, Berkeley, USA
"Students of comparative public policy have long struggled to find concepts that work across a wide range of countries. The concept of 'policy style' was very simple and not overly sophisticated, yet 'policy style' has become a generic term in comparative public policy. This new volume on policy styles will be seen as essential reading for anyone interested in understanding and comparing policy systems." - Jeremy Richardson, Nuffield College, Oxford, and University of Canterbury, New Zealand
