Zahariadis (political science, U. of Alabama at Birmingham) applies the multiple streams theory developed by Kingdon (for examining the US federal government) to parliamentary government policy making.

The creation of domestic and foreign policy in the UK, France, Germany, and Greece is studied and implicitly compared to the United States. Annotation (c) Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
