  摘要：In recent years, there has been growing concern in the UK that local services aimed at risky or vulnerable people are ineffective, because of agencies' persistent failure to share information about their clients. Despite considerable national policy effort to encourage better information-sharing, previous research indicates that there are many cases where information is still not shared when it should be, or where it is shared when it should not be, with potentially devastating results. This a...

• THE VALUE OF THE REMUNERATION OF HIGH CIVIL SERVANTS IN BRITAIN IN THE 20TH CENTURY AND ITS IMPLICATIONS AI翻译
  作者：Rimington, John D.
  摘要：The article traces a large real and comparative decline in the rewards of high civil servants in Great Britain over the 20th century, accelerating since about 1970. It relates this to developments in the market for 'high quality' graduates and to changes in public and governmental attitudes which have affected the size, organization and role of the civil service. It discusses possible causes of the decline in top rewards in terms of three explanatory approaches suggested by social scientists -...
• Competition or monopoly? Comparing privatization of local public services in the US and Spain AI翻译

  摘要：Differences in national traditions of public intervention, institutional arrangements and public service markets make local public services an area of great diversity. In this paper we undertake a comparative study of how local governments arrange for delivery of water and waste services in the US and Spain. We find levels of privatization are higher in Spain than in the US. We review organizational reform in the two contexts and compare service delivery data using national surveys from each c...
• Private policing: A view from the mall AI翻译
  作者：Wakefield, Alison
  作者单位：University of New South Wales Sydney
  摘要：In many Western democratic societies the primacy of the police has begun to diminish with a proliferation of alternative service providers, particularly within the private security sector. This raises questions about how such bodies can best be mobilized and integrated within policing. This paper reports findings from three ethnographic case studies of private security teams operating within areas of semi-public space, to advance understanding of their nature and operations. It shows how the c...
• ON INCLUSION AND NETWORK GOVERNANCE: THE DEMOCRATIC DISCONNECT OF DUTCH ENERGY TRANSITIONS AI翻译
  作者：Hendriks, Carolyn M.
  作者单位：Australian National University
  摘要：The coordination of policy networks, or network governance, poses threats and opportunities for democracy. Against the norms of liberal democracy, multi-actor partnerships do not fare well: they appear to lack responsiveness, public accountability and democratic legitimacy. But in terms of promoting deliberation and participation, networks could potentially deepen democracy. This paper injects some empirical insights into this debate by exploring network governance from the perspective of incl...
• Looking different, acting different: Struggles for equality within the South African police service AI翻译
  作者：Marks, Monique
  摘要：This descriptive paper tells the story of the daily difficulties that members of the Public Order Police (POP) unit in South Africa experienced in their attempts to create a more diverse (in terms of race and gender) and representative police organization. This story is told through recordings of observations and conversations that span a 4-year ethnographic journal. The paper demonstrates that despite affirmative action and equity legislation and programmes, Durban POP by the year 2001, six y...
• UNDERSTANDING GOVERNMENT: FOUR INTELLECTUAL TRADITIONS IN THE STUDY OF PUBLIC ADMINISTRATION AI翻译
  作者：Raadschelders, Jos C. N.
  作者单位：University of Oklahoma System; University of Oklahoma - Norman
  摘要：In this article a conceptual map of the identity of the study of public administration is developed that encompasses its theoretical diversity and richness. It organizes public administration scholarship into four main intellectual traditions: practical wisdom, practical experience, scientific knowledge and relativist perspectives. The objective is to outline the study's fundamental heterodoxy and interdisciplinarity. While the study clearly has strong national components everywhere, the four ...

• The Europeanization of health care governance:: Implementing the market imperatives of Europe AI翻译

  作者单位：University of Copenhagen
  摘要：The paper examines the Europeanization process and the impact of the European Union (EU) on national healthcare policies, using the example of Denmark. The analysis reveals that although health policy formally falls within the competence of member states, the impact of the EU is becoming increasingly conspicuous and has contributed to a gradual restructuring of healthcare boundaries as well as of some of its organizing principles. Furthermore, the process and impact have a de-structuring effec...
