Media Reviews
This book shows how effectively theory can be used in a textbook to inform social work and social administration students of the assumptions that pervade the policy making and implementation process. . . A very attractive feature of the book is the way it draws on theory from various fields, including political science, economics and sociology. . . Although, the book is written for British students, it will also be useful for students in other countries. It can be effectively used as a supplemental text for students in the United States who are not adequately exposed to theoretical issues and who will benefit from its wider perspective. --Journal of Sociology and Social Welfare, Vol. 27, no. 3: September 2000.
