Offering much more than a purely theoretical or retrospective view of public management, this exciting text is an invaluable new addition to the field of public management. Putting the American model in perspective, it establishes the historical, theoretical, analytical, practical and future foundations for the comparative study of public management. Taking a boldly integrative approach, Laurence E. Lynn Jr. combines topics of best practice, performance, accountability and rule of law to provide a much-needed umbrella view of the topic. Well-written and illustrated with case study examples, this is one of the most exciting books on public management available today. As such it is an essential read for every student of public management, administration and public policy.

Mémoire de Maîtrise de l’année 2016 dans le domaine Droit - Droit public / Autres, Universität Hassan II. Casablanca (Fsjes de Ain chock Caasablanca), langue: Français, résumé: Parler de «New Public Management» comme on le fait aujourd’hui au lieu de nouveau management public, c’est indiquer une bifurcation par rapport au management public stricto sensu dont, avec Bartoli, on rappellera la définition: «l’ensemble des processus de finalisation, d’organisation, d’animation et de contrôle des organisations publiques visant à développer leurs performances générales et à piloter leur évolution dans le respect de leur vocation». Et pourtant, avec le management public, il s’agissait déjà, depuis la thématique du PPBS (Planning Programming Budgeting System) – la RCB en français (Rationalisation des Choix Budgétaires) d’acter la prise en compte des catégories managériales dans le fonctionnement des administrations publiques en remplacement de la tradition administrative» déclassée sur la base de l’argument péjoratif de la bureaucratie. Qu’il s’agisse du «normal» ou du «new», le management public poursuit un objectif d’efficacité. Il marque l’entrée des catégories d’une régulation organisationnelle dans les administrations publiques, régulation définie comme «un processus par lequel les actions anti- organisationnelles sont contrées par des forces antagonistes assurant le maintien du système ou de l’organisation». Ces forces antagonistes actent l’existence des tensions qui opèrent entre la dimension institutionnelle de l’administration (sa vocation à remplir des missions indiscutables et permanentes de service public) et une dimension managériale conduisant à questionner le fonctionnement des services publics au nom des enjeux de flexibilité et des conditions de travail. Cette discussion est marquée par l’introduction de logiques de compétitivité dans les services administratifs du fait de systèmes d’évaluation et d’incitation applicables aux administrations publiques comme à leurs fonctionnaires. L’autonomie alors accordée aux services publics tend à faire passer le rôle managérial des agents publics devant les objectifs politiques du fonctionnement des services administratifs par référence à une stratégie qui doit alors être formulée explicitement.

Swiss citizens approve of their government and the way democracy is practiced; they trust the authorities and are satisfied with the range of services Swiss governments provide. This is quite unusual when compared to other countries. This open access book provides insight into the organization and the functioning of the Swiss state. It claims that, beyond politics, institutions and public administration, there are other factors which make a country successful. The authors argue that Switzerland is an interesting case, from a theoretical, scientific and a more practice-oriented perspective. While confronted with the same challenges as other countries, Switzerland offers different solutions, some of which work astonishingly well.

Contemporary bureaucracy is a set of norms, rules, procedures, and formalities which includes administration, business, and NGOs. Where Max Weber meets Michel Foucault, Béatrice Hibou analyzes the political dynamics underlying this process. Neoliberal bureaucracy is a vector of discipline and control, producing social and political indifference.

Neoliberalism has been the reigning ideology of our era. For the past four decades, almost every real-world event of any consequence has been traced to the supposedly omnipresent influence of neoliberalism. Instead, this book argues that states across the world have actually grown in scope and reach. The authors in this volume contest the view that the past three decades have been marked by the diminution of the state in the face of neoliberalism. They argue instead that we are witnessing a new phase of state formation, which revolves around hybrid rule—that is, a more expansive form of state formation that works through privatization and seeks pacification and depoliticization as instrumental to enhancing state power. Contributors argue that that the process of hybridization, and hybrid rule point towards a convergence on a more authoritarian capitalist regime type, possibly, but not necessarily, more closely aligned with the Beijing model—one toward which even the United States, with its penchant for surveillance and discipline, appears to be moving. This volume will shed new light on evolving public-private relations, and the changing nature of power and political authority in the 21st century and will be of interest to students and scholars of IPE, international relations and political theory.

Research on the relationship between technology dynamics and Public Administration (PA) began some years ago and was inspired by the realization that technological development has produced a far-reaching interaction with PA. It is emphasized how technological development and PA influence each other, as investments are managed by public agencies. There are some branches of PA that heavily rely on technology for their activities; such as the defense sector, the space agencies, the agencies for environmental protection, and those that are responsible for food control and safety and so on. Some technological advancements have found fertile ground in PA. The impact of technologies such as ICT or space technologies on PA is from a political and social point of view the most important. The adoption of such technologies can make it possible to offer more services to citizens. The adoption of new technologies can also enhance the efficiency and effectiveness of the bureaucratic apparatus and can even influence positively the mechanisms of political representation. The most interesting applications of technology are those relating to earth observations because these are able to strengthen en
