The emergence of partnerships is recognition of economic, social and political changes, which have transformed the manner in which policy is made and delivered. This book aims to provide a greater understanding of partnership governance by examining the performance of partnerships, and is set within the context of Northern Ireland, an area in which partnerships are emerging as a central feature in public administration.
