Summary
Based on rational choice sociology, neo-institutional economics and public choice rather than practitioner theory, this theoretical explanation for the increasing use of quasi autonomous non-governmental organizations (quangos) develops a groundbreaking theoretical model to explain the choices that politicians make. Sustained and rigorous theoretical treatments such as this are rare. Holding implications for practitioners as well as scholars in politics, sociology, economics, buisness, and law, this book makes a compelling contribution to the literature on policy-making.
