What I love about this book is the idea of explaining why networks in the public sector plays a crucial role in achieving the goals. However, most of the chapters are redundant, and the examples seem a bit bias considering the author's previous experience as Indianapolis' former mayor back in the 90s

Nice concept and good insights, But made me wonder about the dominance of military sector in US public sector (in other words, loooiooots of military teams examples).

A somewhat simplistic and outdated introduction to "networked governance." Each chapter concludes with a list of "key points" covered -- whenever a writer does that I think two things: 1. This book was written for lazy people or an undergrad intro course and 2. If you could summarize what you said in the preceding chapter in a page, then, honestly, you probably shouldn't have bothered to write the preceding chapter.
