“This is an extremely sensitive and thorough analysis of a major Canadian program in a vital policy area of regional and global interest as well as of national interest. It also offers creative and valuable synthesis in that it connects two important and excessively walled-off subfields—organization theory and public policy analysis. The book is a rare demonstration of how theoretical sophistication and the mastery of case intricacies can be joined.”—Allan Lerner, University of Illinois at Chicago
