Zusatztext 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' Informationen zum Autor Matthew Flinders was awarded the Political Studies Association's Richard Rose Prize 2004. Judges' Citation'Dr Flinders has focussed on a set of topics of central relevance to British Government and politics: the institutions and mechanisms of accountability and responsibility. In doing so he has addressed an interesting and important question in a fresh way. He has combined a strong sense of the historical evolution of the conventions of British government since the mid-nineteenth century; shown how the contemporary practice of British government has diverged from the assumptions underlying these now obsolete conventions; and identified multiple mechanisms that have been invoked in attempts to fill the gap left by parliamentary non-accountability. Flinders' publications show the ability to use relevant concepts to clarify and organize information without losing sight of ambiguities and complexities.' Klappentext This unique collection brings together leading scholars from a range of disciplines to assess and critique the key concept of multi-level governance. This is a concept which has been widely adopted to explain the changing nature of domestic and international politics ever since its early application to the EU.
