Reviews

' Subsidiarity Governanceholds important lessons for policy makers and administrators alike. Colombo lays out the concepts of subsidiarity and the power it can have in providing better outcomes for those whom government is intended to serve. Essays in the book provide rich examples of the application of subsidiarity in the provision of various public services. Those interested in improving public policy and administration will find the insights in this work both stimulating and rewarding.' - Babak Armajani, founder and chairman, The Public Strategies Group

'Lombardy has long been a pioneer in public service reform. Its application of principles of subsdiarity and quasi-markets have revolutionised both the delivery and provision of social services. We all have a lot to learn from Lombardy, in terms of both theory and practice; and this excellent book, edited by one of the key figures in the reform process, is the place to start that learning.' - Julian Le Grand, Richard Titmuss Professor of Social Policy, London School of Economics
