His key question concerns whether these task forces serve as agents of policy innovation and why or why not. He adopts his theoretical framework from the literature on organizational innovation, extending Lawrence Mohr's analysis of the determinants of policy adoption from public agencies to the civic level and to nongovernmental organizations. The three cities examined are Madison, Wisconsin; Columbia, Missouri; and Kansas City, Missouri. Annotation ©2009 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR ()
