Sommario/riassunto |
|
For any government agency, the distribution of available resources among problems or programs is crucially important. This book illustrates the controversy that ensues when previously implicit administrative processes are made explicit and subjected to critical examination. It reveals the limitations to quantitative risk assessment. |
