Reviews

this is a vintage Rolls-Royce of a book - a quality product in a traditional style that is not only bulky and impressive but likely to be an appreciating classic of its type. Christopher Hood, New Institutionalism and Organizational Theory, A Review Article.
`Sesitively framed, well-written and impressively throrough, this study is likely to be a standard work on regulatory compliance for some time to come.'
Christopher Hood, New Institutionalism and Organizational Theory, A Review Article.
`Anyone who thinks regulatory 'compliance' is a clear-cut phenomenon, capable of being easily defined and measured, has been reading too many self-congratulatory reports by regulatory agencies and needs to read this book.'
