Reviews
"This book provides many insights into how researchers and practitioners can work better together in addressing complex policy issues. The conceptual approach is very helpful in making sense of the intersections between knowledge, policy, research and practice, and the book has great value for wider audiences in policy studies and social research." Professor Brian Head, University of Queensland, Australia
"Pfeffer describes politics as the study of power in action. This book takes this view seriously and brings an important and new perspective to bear on the knowledge to policy debate." Fred Carden, International Development Research Centre, Canada
