註釋
"In this book, the author examines the relationship between governments and external activists through a comparative study of Australian and Canadian policy units dedicated to aboriginal and women's issues. The author proposes that, rather than criticizing these agencies for their inherently contradictory nature, we regard them as effective means of bridging social movements and state politics. In other words, the very existence of these special policy agencies provides a forum for social movements and the state to work out their differences. Drawing on a wide range of sources, including in-depth interviews with public servants and external activists, the author argues convincingly that special policy agencies, despite - or because of - their ambiguous relationship to different communities, make critical contributions to governance." -- BOOK JACKET.
