Governance book reviews: public participation, international political economy, and more
David Rosenbloom says that Leonardo Avritzer‘s book Participatory Institutions in Democratic Brazil “significantly advances conceptualization and theorizing with respect to participatory democratic institutions,” while Angela Wigger says that a new volume edited by Mark Blyth provides “an erudite and elegantly written” overview of international political economy. Also reviewed in the current issue: Rosemary O’Leary and Lisa Blomgren Bingham on collaborative public management; Stephen Haggard and Robert Kaufman on the political economy of welfare in the developing world; Rachel Epstein on liberalization in Eastern Europe; and Steven Cohen and William Eimicke on contract management. Read all of the reviews for free in January.
