Abstract

Public Policy and Administration 23(4) local environmental forums, aid programmes in Mozambique, the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and the World Bank, inter-municipal and regional govern- ment in the UK, Denmark, Spain and Germany. While these do not form a coherent set, they are nevertheless worthy and interesting and attempt to address the legitimacy and democracy themes. This is admirable and valuable material that should grace any public administration bookshelf. The richness of this material is reflected in the summary concluding chapter, but the theoretical ques- tions remain only partially answered because of the brevity of the initial discus- sions. There is no collected bibliography at the end, which would have been very helpful. roger levy, Glasgow Caledonian University, UK Peter Knoepfel, Corinne Larrue, Frédéric Varone and Michael Hill (2007) Public Policy Analysis Bristol: The Policy Press, ISBN-13 978–1–8613–4907–1 It is easy to forget that the concepts and language used to study public policy were largely developed by academics working in the North American social and politi- cal context.
