About the Book
Administrative Reform critically examines the wave of public sector reforms that have swept across Western democracies in recent decades, particularly the shift toward market-based models of governance. The volume brings together leading experts in the field who provide comparative insights into how these reforms have been designed and implemented across diverse political systems—from the well-known cases of New Zealand and the United Kingdom to less studied examples like Austria, Greece, and Hungary.
Key themes explored include the changing dynamics between elected officials and civil servants, the tensions between tradition and innovation, and the effectiveness of reform efforts in achieving their stated goals. This comprehensive overview not only sheds light on the successes and limitations of administrative reforms but also provides essential perspectives for shaping future public administration strategies.
An essential resource for students and scholars of political science, public administration, and governance, this book also serves as a practical guide for civil servants and policy experts navigating the evolving landscape of public sector management.
