Institutional maturity and challenges for integrity bodies
Integrity bodies, as monitoring and review authorities, are dualistic institutions acutely subject to the forces of integration and autonomy. They are usefully embraced by governance perspectives that suggest ascending levels of maturity through which all institutions can potentially progress. The perspectives and levels have distinctive features with inherent challenges ideally requiring the involvement of particular types of institutional leade…
Ownership as an instrument of policy and understanding in the public sphere
Ownership in the public sphere has policy and analytical significance in the exercise of public power. The last 30 years have witnessed several notable trends involving ownership and regulation, public and private law, financial outlays and returns, shareholders and stakeholders, and principals and agents. The trends are identified and addressed, leading to suggested lines of ownership-based research on power, leadership and organisational maturi…
Dynamics of public ownership and regulation
This editorial addresses the origins of our interest in the dynamics of public ownership and regulation. Issues of ownership and regulation remain firmly on the public agenda, with key themes involving distinctive patterns and trends over time, ongoing state involvement in significant areas of activity, and particular concerns in the provision of hospital and water services. These and related themes are addressed in the following articles
Public management and organizational autonomy

The State and Governance
Integrative governance
Public Administration in Troubled Waters
The crux of this article is that public administration is indeed in troubled waters in terms of the threatened legitimacy of the modern state: that many of the organisational and managerial reforms of recent years have had the effect of debasing parliamentary politics by ushering in a much more definite form of executive imperialism than has ever been witnessed in previous eras. More specifically, the reforms have changed, or are changing, the co…
The Incorporated Company as an Instrument of Government
Privatization initiatives and the doctrines of “New Public Management” have led to incorporated companies assuming considerable significance within government in many countries. The implications of this development for the structure and operation of the modern state are potentially far‐reaching, but are yet to be appropriately comprehended. In response, the article seeks to establish a framework for understanding the basic characteristics and use…
