Publisher Synopsis
"Fast Policy is a publication full of methodological innovations, a fruitful dialogue between in-depth case study research and theory formulation, and the valiant act of discussing important substantive questions across the boundaries of various disciplines."-Journal of Economic Geography"A compelling landmark study in the heretofore insufficiently researched domain of policy transfer analysis. Moreover, it is written in a colorful, thoroughly engaging style, rare for a book on public policy."-CHOICE"Fast Policy marks an interesting new step in the research trajectory that Peck and Theodore have shared for years."-Social Service Review"Peck and Theodore have developed a rich and original approach to thinking about how transnational networks and relationships have profoundly transformed policy-making in the contemporary period."-European Journal of Sociology "Drawing on theory and cases, the authors present slowly matured, insightful, and agenda-setting scholarship on the accelerated development, fast cross-border transfer, and quick implementation of welfare and labor market policies."-Bob Jessop, Lancaster University, UK Read more...
