Abstract
Commissioned Book Review: Markus Hinterleitner, <i>Political Controversies and Political Blame Games</i>
Highlights
As a point of clarification, this book is a study of the reaction to policy controversies, rather than one which pays equal attention to both controversy and blame
The value of this publication is that it shows that blame is not solely a cognitive/behavioural phenomenon, but is something shaped by the context it takes place in
Its primary weakness stems from the theoretical assumptions regarding context
Summary
As a point of clarification, this book is a study of the reaction to policy controversies, rather than one which pays equal attention to both controversy and blame. The value of this publication is that it shows that blame is not solely a cognitive/behavioural phenomenon, but is something shaped by the context it takes place in. Its primary weakness stems from the theoretical assumptions regarding context.
