Editorial Review
A rich bibliography that includes few museum studies resources in favor of scholarly material from the fields of political science, public administration, and public policy supplements a brief, adequate index. This book is from the series `New Directions in Cultural Policy Research' and will be of interest to museum studies, political science, and public policy libraries. Summing Up: Recommended. Upper-division undergraduates and above. (J. Decker, Choice, Vol. 53 (10), June, 2016)
