`Ongaro has made a major contribution to understanding the political and adminstrative systems of Southern Europe. The work goes beyond that, however, by providing an excellent example of comparative analysis in general. This book should be read by all students of comparative administration.' - B. Guy Peters, University of Pittsburgh, US and City University of Hong Kong `This is an important book for several reasons.

It also shows that culture does make a difference, and that contingencies are important.
