About this title

Review

Bache and Flinders have assembled a valuable booka very good and coherently edited stocktaking of the multi-level governance literature. (Journal of Common Market Studies)

This volume represents an important contribution to the literature dealing with governance in general and would be of benefit to students not only of multi-level governance This book is likely to be of value to researchers and to graduate students in the field of European Union and domestic politics for some years to come. (Regional and Federal Studies)

Even those familiar with the literature on multi-level governance are likely to encounter new theoretical perspectives. Apart from the merits of the individual chapters, the real strength of the book lies in its thematic unity. Unlike many edited volumes, this book is not a collection of separate chapters that happen to be between the covers of the same book. Rather Ian Bache and Matthew Flinders ensure that this edited volume is tightly focused.Given the complexity of the concept this is a considerable achievement. For serious scholars of multi-level governance the book is essential reading. (Political Studies Review)
