Description
This work sets out to move public management research beyond its current theoretical and practical obstacles, offering solutions to nonproductive opposing views and combining a critique of the major ideas on reforming the public service with a more satisfactory approach, based on an alternative structural arrangement. It introduces and establishes the credibility of a useful way to equip public management better for the future.
Table of Contents
- The basic strategy - rejecting polarization and focusing on a middle ground
- circumscribing the attack on the administrative state - whittling away, hollowing out
- some dominant defenses, the case for bureaucracy, refounding via the agency model, rebuilding by a golden (but slender) thread
- a possible defense - time, chance, and the negation of concerns?
- beyond polarization - applications at systemic levels, toward a new citizenship - from the bottom, up and through the middle, burnout and analysis/applications at the individual level
- epilogue - generalizations about moving beyond the hollow state.
