| Summary: | "Explores the current models of government reform across the world, examining the basic tool kit of reformers and probing the underlying issues of government management and the puzzles of governance in the twenty-first century, with special focus on New Zealand and the United States"--Provided by publisher. "Over the past quarter century, governments around the world have launched ambitious efforts to reform the way they manage. Citizens have demanded smaller, cheaper, more effective governments while asking for more programs and better services. To resolve this paradox, governments are experimenting with many ideas to improve performance and production and to reduce costs. In this new edition of The Global Public Management Revolution, Donald F. Kettl charts the basic models of reform being employed worldwide." "Kettl predicts that reform and reinvention will likely become mantras for governments of all stripes. Ultimately, this means coupling the reform impulse with governance - government's increasingly important relationship with civil society and the institutions that shape modern life."--BOOK JACKET. |
