"The book is short, clearly-organised and easy to read." Australian Journal of Public Administration "Publications like this provide local authorities with a much needed point of reference in the stormy waters of local engagement, community leadership, efficiency savings and devolution of services." Local Government First "...the book is highly readable and Spicker's wry view of policy implementation makes this complicated subject enjoyable and easily accessible." Journal of Social Policy,
