Series Statement:
Governance and Public Management
Content:
In the last two decades governments have invested a great deal of time, money, and political capital in reforms to make the public sector more efficient. They have, however, invested little in evaluating the effectiveness of their efforts, accepting many of the reforms because of a belief in a particular approach to governing or an ideological commitment on the part of politicians. This collection of essays "takes stock" of these reform measures and their impact on public administration.
Content:
Intro -- Contents -- Preface -- Acknowledgments -- Introduction -- The Changing Role of the State -- Managerialism Revisited -- What Works? The Antiphons of Administrative Reform -- Public Sector Values and Administrative Reforms -- Public Consultation and Citizen Participation: Dilemmas of Policy Advice -- Making Public Policy: The Changing Role of the Higher Civil Service -- Assessing Past and Current Personnel Reforms -- Innovation in Public Sector Management -- A New Generation of Budget Reform -- Central Agencies and Departments: Empowerment and Coordination -- Restructuring Government for the Management and Delivery of Public Services -- The Changing Nature of Accountability -- Fifteen Years of Reform: What Have We Learned?.
