Excerpt from jury report: A well-written, state-of the art discussion of an important policy issue and topic. Leading edge concepts applied carefully to a complex case study. The strength of this thesis lies in the clarity of its presentation. The comparative dimension is strong and informative. The historical chronology and policy adaptations are expertly handled. The material is complex but unobtrusively incorporated into political analysis. The sources are unimpeachable.
