内容
The concept of governance is a holistic examination of the way organizations, markets, and governments regulate people based on the choices individuals make, and the decisions made as a collective society. Editor Schechter (Russell Sage College) has previously edited over 20 political science titles, and he has brought together more than 400 contributors to shape this well-organized, five-volume reference set. Unlike the SAGE two-volume Encyclopedia of Governance (CH, Jul’07, 44-6002), which focused on the concept of governance across many countries, this new work provides an in-depth focus on the system of American governance through an interdisciplinary lens. Its more than 700 unique, peer-reviewed entries intersect with subject areas of economics, history, law, political science, psychology, and sociology, which helps extend the value of the encyclopedia to a wider audience.
