Recenzii

'Prime Ministers and Rhetorical Governance is a sophisticated and accessible study which explores how top government leaders use rhetorical strategies to lead governments and to frame policy discourse and interventions. This study uses historical and comparative analysis to illuminate dimensions of rhetorical governance focusing particularly on the Westminster experience of Australia, Canada, New Zealand and the UK and successfully links them to the contemporary conditions of centralizing prime ministers, networked governance, and 24-7 news cycles. Grube's work will undoubtedly engage political scientists, but should equally interest scholars and practitioners seeking to understand how rhetoric strategies and practice by prime ministers conditions and informs public policy and public administration, opening up and constraining opportunities for change.'
Professor Evert Lindquist, University of Victoria, British Columbia; Editor, Canadian Public Administration.
"This is an important and insightful book. It not only enlarges our understanding of political leadership in British politics, but also reframes our grasp of rhetoric as an ever-evolving tool of governance in and outside formal political institutions. It will be a central point of reference for the expanding interest in political speech and communications."
James Martin, Professor of Politics, Goldsmiths, University of London
'This book is an important contribution to our understanding of the relationships between political rhetoric, leadership and governance. Through a skilful comparative study of different Parliamentary regimes (The United Kingdom, Australia, New Zealand and Canada) Grube identifies an 'institutionalised' rhetoric which, he argues, shapes politicians behaviour. This is a bold claim which urges us to think afresh about the power (and the weakness) of Prime Ministers'.
Alan Finlayson, Professor of Political and Social Theory, University of East Anglia
