The New Public Management: Improving Research and Policy Dialogue
How policymakers should guide, manage, and oversee public bureaucracies is a question that lies at the heart of contemporary debates about government and public administration. In their search for better systems of public management, reformers have looked in particular at the United Kingdom, Australia, and New Zealand. These countries are exemplars of the New Public Management, a term used to describe distinctive new themes, styles, and patterns …
The Reform of Financial Management in the European Commission: A Public Management Policy Cycle Case Study
Since the mid‐1990s during the Santer, Prodi, and Barroso presidencies, the European Commission has experienced several public management policy cycles. Included on the Barroso Commission's (2004–2008) policy agenda was the reform of internal financial control, prompted by significant irregularities in budget execution signalled repeatedly by the European Court of Auditors (ECA) in its annual Declaration of Assurance (DAS) and Annual Reports. Thi…
The Comparative Historical Analysis of Public Management Policy Cycles in France, Italy, and Spain: Symposium Introduction
In recent studies of public management reform in France, Italy, and Spain inspired by historical institutionalism, the Napoleonic tradition is cast as a causal factor whose overwhelming strength explains how these countries' reforms proceed and finish. This symposium pursues the same research interest in the politics of public management reform and goal of understanding how reforms begin, proceed, and finish in these countries. However, the featu…
The Comparative Historical Analysis of Public Management Policy Cycles in France, Italy, and Spain: Symposium Conclusion
This concluding article in the symposium develops generalizing arguments about the politics of public management reform in France, Italy, and Spain, by drawing out implications of the case studies presented in the three preceding articles. Some of these implications hold that established research arguments about politics of public management reform in the same cultural and geographical area require considerable qualification and reexamination. So…

Public Management Policymaking in Spain: The Politics of Legislative Reform of Administrative Structures, 1991–1997
This case study focuses on extending research knowledge about the politics of public management policymaking in Spain. The case involves legislating to change politically sensitive features of the central government and administration. The study explains such analytically significant event conditions as: an agenda‐setting process that made a policy issue of the formal, structural attributes of state administration, an alternative‐specification pr…

Theorizing Implementation of Public Management Policy Reforms: A Case Study of Strategic Planning and Programming in the European Commission
As a measure to rectify the European Commission's “management deficit,” the institution's authorities decided to introduce new forms of commission‐wide strategic planning and programming in 2000. Drawing on semistructured interviews with Commission officials, this article tracks the key turning points, trajectories, and outcomes of events within the implementation stage of this part of the Commission managerial reform. As an instrumental case stu…

Learning from Second‐Hand Experience: Methodology for Extrapolation‐Oriented Case Research
Critics of public management reform complain that governments copy legitimated foreign practices. Recent work by Eugene Bardach helps to explain why: neither government analysts nor academic researchers possess an adequate methodology to examine practices in source sites, with a view toward adaptation in target sites. Rather than complain, Bardach takes steps to develop such a methodology, drawing analogies with reverse engineering. This article …
A Tribute to Graham Wilson
Responsibility Budgeting at the Air Force Materiel Command
Th e case study reported here challenges conventional wisdom about the feasibility of implementing responsibil-ity budgeting and accounting practices in U.S. govern-ment. A variant of this practice took root and operated eff ectively in a large federal agency — the Air Force Materiel Command — during the period of study. Contrary to conventional wisdom, implementing a meaningful form of responsibility budgeting and ac-counting does not require ch…
From “New Institutionalism” to “Institutional Processualism: Advancing Knowledge about Public Management Policy Change
Research on public management reform has taken a decidedly disciplinary turn. Since the late 1990s, analytical issues are less often framed in terms of the New Public Management. As part of the disciplinary turn, much recent research on public management reform is highly influenced by the three new institutionalisms. However, these studies have implicitly been challenged by a competing research program on public management reform that is emphatic…

Explaining public management policy change: Germany in comparative perspective
Public management policies have changed significantly in numerous countries in recent times. Policy entrepreneurs remain active in this policy domain, which encompasses government‐wide rules and routines in the areas of expenditure planning and financial management, civil service and labor relations, procurement, organization and methods, and audit and evaluation. Case‐oriented comparative research provides policy entrepreneurs with historically …

Central Audit Institutions and Performance Auditing: A Comparative Analysis of Organizational Strategies in the OECD
The New Public Management supplies a rationale for broadening the mandate of external audit institutions to encompass performance auditing. This article examines conceptual, empirical, and managerial issues raised by external performance auditing. Conceptually, performance auditing is a misnomer for a class of mainly evaluative review activities. Empirically, OECD countries vary in terms of the specific types of performance audits conducted by th…

Deregulating the Public Service: Can Government Be Improved
Deregulating the public service essentially means altering or abolishing personnel procurement regulations that deplete government workers' creativity, reduce their productivity, and make a career in public service unattractive to many talented, energetic, and public-spirited citizens. With the benefit of a historical perspective on the development of American public service from the days of the progressive to the present, the contributors to thi…

Breaking through bureaucracy: A New Vision for Managing in Government
"This book attacks the conventional wisdom that bureaucrats are bunglers and the system can't be changed. Michael Barzelay and Babak Armajani trace the source of much poor performance in government to the persistent influence of what they call the bureaucratic paradigm--a theory built on such notions as central control, economy and efficiency, and rigid adherence to rules. Rarely questioned, the bureaucratic paradigm leads competent and faithful …

Managing State Government Operations: Changing Visions of Staff Agencies
Centralized staff agencies embody the early 20th century bureaucratic reform vision of good government. The behavior of these agencies, as well as the conception of administration contained in the bureaucratic reform vision, are often criticized. Feasible alternative conceptions of staff-line-overseer relations are only beginning to emerge through the contextual development of public management ideas and incremental innovation.
