摘要:
British public administration has endured radical anti-state reforms since 1979. This essay outlines the three phases of these administrative reforms, their sources of support, underlying rationales, basic institutional elements, as well as their limitations. As a result of profound administrative changes, U.K. academic administrative sciences have undergone a redefinition and relabelling. Yet, there is still not a distinctive British School of public administration, nor a pronounced shift to Continental European thinking. Indeed, the author concludes, ''U.K. academic public administration is still move that of a North American satellite than a core European State.''
