Public Management Old And New 1st Laurence E Lynn Jr by Laurence E. Lynn, Jr. instant download after payment.

Discussion of public management reform has been riveted by claims that a new paradigm,

a business-like New Public Management, is replacing traditional, bureaucratic government

on a global scale. By examining the evolution of managerial structures, practices,

and values in France, Germany, the United Kingdom, and the United States, Public

Management: Old and New reveals how public management reform in any country is

inevitably shaped by that country’s history.

This original new book illuminates the historical, institutional, and political factors

that are essential to understanding contemporary public management practices and

reform processes. Laurence E. Lynn, Jr. argues that constitutions and constitutional

institutions, legislatures, and courts regulate the evolution of managerialism and that

the triumph of democracy, not of capitalism, is the most influential of recent global

developments shaping public management reform.

Indispensable for all students of public management, administration, and policy, this

influential and insightful text offers a breadth of understanding and a unique perspective

on public management today. It is an original addition to the bookshelves of all those

interested in gaining a broad institutional perspective on their field.
