  摘要：This paper analyses regulation by contract in public-private partnerships (PPPs) for infrastructure services. Although the benefits of competition for the market and subsequent regulatory contracts are recognized, the literature also identifies contract design failures. When considering these limitations, it is useful to distinguish between contracts associated with purely contractual PPPs (concessions) and contracts for institutionalized PPPs (mixed company). Two cases from the Portuguese wat...
• THINKING ON: A CAREER IN PUBLIC ADMINISTRATION AI翻译

  摘要：This article provides a brief intellectual history of my journey from traditional public administration through modernist-empiricism to an interpretive approach and its associated research themes; a story of how I got to where I am. I do so to provide the context for a statement of where I stand now and key themes in my research; a story of where I go from here. I have a vaulting ambition: to establish an interpretive approach and narrative explanations in political science, so redefining publ...
• GOVERNMENT: A SUITABLE CASE FOR TREATMENT? AI翻译
  作者：Wilson, Baron
  作者单位：University of Cambridge
  摘要：Government - its institutions, its working, its constitutional controls - is hugely important, not just as a subject of gossip or history in the making but as a discipline. Rod Rhodes' achievement in pioneering new ways of mapping and analysing developments inside government from the inside, and in coordinating so many different academic studies, was a remarkable model of the sort of research into government that can be, and needs to be, done by universities, not least as a basis for training ...
• THE THIRD SECTOR, USER INVOLVEMENT AND PUBLIC SERVICE REFORM: A CASE STUDY IN THE CO-GOVERNANCE OF HEALTH SERVICE PROVISION AI翻译
  作者：Martin, Graham P.
  作者单位：University of Leicester
  摘要：The 'modernization' of British public services seeks to broaden public sector governance networks, bringing the views of third sector organizations, the public and service users (among others) to the design, management and delivery of welfare. Building on previous analyses of the contradictions generated by these roles, this paper draws on longitudinal qualitative research to enunciate the challenges faced by one third-sector organization in facilitating service user influence in a UK National...
• NOT ODIOUS BUT ONEROUS: COMPARATIVE PUBLIC ADMINISTRATION AI翻译
  作者：Pollitt, Christopher
  作者单位：KU Leuven
  摘要：This paper asks, first, how have comparative publications (academic 'outputs') developed during the past three decades; second, what theories have been in play, and, third, how can we best explain the picture of comparative PA that is thus revealed? The trajectories of themes and theories are set within a wider story of the development of networks and academic communities. Changes in practitioner concerns and networks have had significant impacts on the evolution of the academic sub-field. Cha...

• THE NEW ORTHODOXY: THE DIFFERENTIATED POLITY MODEL AI翻译
  作者：Marsh, David
  作者单位：Australian National University
  摘要：Anthony King (1989, p. 97) argued some time ago that: 'most of Britain's best political scientists (...) are for some reason journalists'. This is a claim which could only be made by someone who thinks that understanding, or explaining, politics merely revolves around knowing what happens at the centre of power. It neglects the point that facts do not speak for themselves; rather, they have to be interpreted within a conceptual or theoretical framework. Such theoretical frameworks are, for the...
• MANAGING CITIZENS' EXPECTATIONS OF PUBLIC SERVICE PERFORMANCE: EVIDENCE FROM OBSERVATION AND EXPERIMENTATION IN LOCAL GOVERNMENT AI翻译
  作者：James, Oliver
  作者单位：University of Exeter
  摘要：Citizens' expectations of public service performance influence their attitudes and behaviour towards services, including satisfaction, choice of service and political voice about them. However, there has been little research on what sets expectations. This paper assesses the effects of prior service performance and information about prior performance on two forms of citizen expectations, positive expectations of what performance will be and normative expectations of what performance should be....

• ISSUE FRAMING AND SECTOR CHARACTER AS CRITICAL PARAMETERS FOR GOVERNMENT CONTRACTING-OUT IN THE UK AI翻译
  作者：Baekkeskov, Erik
  作者单位：University of California System; University of California Berkeley
  摘要：This article shows that variations in how two UK governments justified contracting-out (issue framing), combined with shifting sector-derived incentives for union activism (sector character), can help explain the extent of contracting-out. Janitorial service, an activity of the UK government that should have been low hanging fruit' for its prolific reformers, proved difficult to contract-out for Thatcher's New Right Conservatives, but easier to contract-out for Blair's New Labour. The New Righ...
