... this is an excellent book that will provide an important baseline for future studies of policy implementation theory, EU, AEP, and policy network analysis. Environment and Planning Jones and Clark provide a refreshing and very stimulating analysis of what they term 'multilevel governance' operating in policymaking networks of the European Union.
