Time, Planning and Policy-Making: An Evaluation of a Complex Relationship - Softcover
How should governments deal with the future? This question is still the cornerstone in the clash between different ideologies. However, despite the lasting debate, almost no empirical evidence exists about the impact of the conflicting schemes. The present book is a systematic and comparative attempt to shed light on this complex matter. The in-depth evaluation of crucial planning papers of 40 governments leads to an understanding of the theoretically salient relationship between time, planning and policy-making.

Review:
-Planung ist heute ein eigentliches 'Unthema', vor allem nach dem Zusammenbruch der Planwirtschaft in Osteuropa und - noch zu wenig beachtet und erforscht - in der Dritten Welt. Darum ist ein solches Unterfangen hochst verdienstvoll, vor allem, wenn es in jenem Geist der gesunden Skepsis und der hochentwickelten Selbstkritik angegangen wird, welche den Autor in hohem Mass auszeichnet.- (Robert Nef, Schweizer Monatshefte)
