It includes three case studies - the Scottish Office, the Welsh Office, and the Northern Ireland Office that provide illustrations of the complexity of the issues involved.'The virtue of the book is that it brings together much interesting and useful information and insights on the working of the ministry a an institution. The discussion is well-supported by a good supply of data and clearly presented lists and tables.' Public Administration 8/88
