<i>’Unelected political professionals loom increasingly large in European governance. But what do these professionals do, how do they do it, and what difference does it make? In a single study, Stefan Svallfors recasts our understanding of this sorely neglected issue, bringing the ‘’shadow government’’ of complex democratic societies back to the center of focus and debate. A masterful book.’</i><br />- Jacob S. Hacker, Yale University, US
