`This is an engaging study that makes compelling claims about the
difficulties faced by public services, drawing upon a
well-researched case study on PES. A detailed analysis of PES in
each of the Member States is rightly avoided as too ambitious a
project. The focus on trends enables the authors to extrapolate
conclusions for reflecting on public services... The current
political relevance of PES makes the study a revealing read for
anyone with an interest
in the regulatory vicissitudes facing public services in general;
it is an essential read for those working in the area of PES and
the European Employment Strategy in particular.'
