Drawing on cases studies from around the world, researchers from different disciplinesincluding sociology, political science, geography, anthropology, history, and management studiesexamine how professional service firms have generated power in the policy-making process. The chapters further investigate the structure and organization of these firms and their relationship with public agencies. They discuss the impact of strategies, techniques and models promoted by these firms on political decision-making. And they analyze how these firms have contributed to the formation of global policy-pipelines, facilitating the quick diffusion of policy ideas across time and space. Exposing how professional advisors can undermine democratic decision-making, the chapters in this book explore the potential for resistance and regulation of public-private relationships. Chris Hurl is Assistant Professor in the Department of Sociology and Anthropology at Concordia University in Montreal, Canada. His research investigates urban governance, state formation, and the politics of the public sector in Canada. Anne Vogelpohl is a Geographer and holds a Professorship for Social Sciences at HAW Hamburg, Germany. She investigates contradictions between expertise and participation and between global politics and urban everyday life. 001439328 588__ $$aOnline resource; title from PDF title page (SpringerLink, viewed September 10, 2021). 001439328 650_0 $$aPolitical planning. 001439328 650_0 $$aPolicy sciences. 001439328 650_0 $$aProfessional corporations. 001439328 650_6 $$aPolitique publique. 001439328 650_6 $$aSciences de la politique. 001439328 650_6 $$aSociétés civiles professionnelles. 001439328 655_0 $$aElectronic books. 001439328 7001_ $$aHurl, Chris,$$eeditor. 001439328 7001_ $$aVogelpohl, Anne,$$eeditor. 001439328 77608 $$iPrint version:$$z3030721272$$z9783030721275$$w(OCoLC)1240305371 001439328 852__ $$bebk 001439328 85640 $$3Springer Nature$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=https://link.springer.com/10.1007/978-3-030-72128-2$$zOnline Access$$91397441.1 001439328 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:1439328$$pGLOBAL_SET 001439328 980__ $$aBIB 001439328 980__ $$aEBOOK 001439328 982__ $$aEbook 001439328 983__ $$aOnline 001439328 994__ $$a92$$bISE
