Why Policy Issue Networks Matter: The Advanced Technology Program and the Manufacturing Extension Partnership, Paul M. Hallacher, Lanham, Maryland: Rowman & Littlefield Publishers, 2005, pp. ix, 181.The argument that the rigid institutional arrangements of the past, namely subgovernments, have given way to decentralized, more open and informal policy issue networks is increasingly supported by a burgeoning body of case study literature. Paul Hallacher's book is an example of one such study that attempts to go beyond this observation and hypothesize the causal connections between policy subsystem structure and policy outcomes in the area of American cooperative technology policy. The United States provides a suitable environment for examining the hypothetical link between policy subsystem and outcome in this policy area because of the differences in political culture at the federal and state levels with regards to government in assisting industry. These differences have manifested themselves as open conflict between Democrats and Republicans over interventionist policy
