Extract

The Politics of Quasi-Government: Hybrid Organizations and the Dynamics of Bureaucratic Control. By Jonathan G. S. Koppell. New York: Cambridge University Press, 2003. 239p. $60.00.

Do policymakers surrender popular sovereignty by granting public authority to semiprivate institutions? Jonathan Koppell compares hybrid organizations and government agencies in three policy areas—housing, export promotion, and international market development—and concludes that although hybrid organizations are more difficult to control, they are not inimical to democracy.
