Description

'There is no doubt about the quality of the authors' understanding and appreciation of the political processes and influences at work...The chapters on local government and the National Health Service are model analyses...' - RSA Journal Managing the New Public Services provides an introduction to, and assessment of, the major organisational changes in Britain's public services since the late 1970s which have collectively been identified as the emergence of a new managerialism. The editors draw particular attention to both the similarities and differences between private sector and public service management and to the impact of the increasing politicisation of public management on the traditional neutrality of public officials.
