description: The rise of New Public Management and the fragmentation of agencies that resulted created unprecedented new tensions and problems in multi-agency work. This book provides an insight into the workings of a large multi-agency committee, exploring the manner in which different agencies brought their own agendas, organizational structures and world-views to a multi-agency forum and expected working relationships to be relatively problem free.
