The Tools of Government in the Digital Age (Public Policy and Politics) 2nd Edition

by Christopher C. Hood (Author), Helen Z. Margetts (Author)



This important new work updates the arguments of Christopher Hood's classic work The Tools of Government for the twenty-first century. Revised and updated throughout and drawing its examples from a wide range of places and contexts, it includes substantially increased coverage of how government gets information and an assessment of how the tools available to government have changed over time--especially with new developments in digital technologies.
