摘要:The contracting-out of public services has often been accompanied by a strong academic focus on the emergence of new governance forms, and a general neglect of the processes and practices through which contracted-out services are controlled and monitored. To fill this gap, we draw on contracting-out and inter-organizational control literatures to explore the adoption of control mechanisms for public service provision at the municipal level and the variables that can explain their choice. Our r...

摘要:This article makes a further contribution to opening the 'black box' of micropractices in ministry-agency relationships. We argue that the mechanisms that come into play in the course of institutionalizing agencification reforms - such as renegotiating mutual roles and rules in ministry-agency interactions - are only poorly covered in the existing literature. To adequately address the negotiated and contingent nature of de facto agency autonomy and political control, we develop an interpretive...

摘要:We examine the 'identity work' of manager-professional 'hybrids', specifically medical professionals inmanagerial roles in the British National Health Service, to maintain and hybridize their professional identity and wider professionalism in organizational and policy contexts affected by managerialist ideas. Empirically, we differentiate between 'incidental hybrids', who represent and protect traditional institutionalized professionalism while temporarily in hybrid roles, and 'willing hybrids...

摘要:Increasing attention has been paid in both public administration and organizational theory to understanding how physicians assume a 'hybrid' role as they take onmanagerial responsibilities. Limited theoretical attention has been devoted to the processes involved in negotiating, developing, and maintaining such a role. We draw on identity theory, using a qualitative, five-year longitudinal case study, to explore how hybrid physician-managers in the English National Health Service and the organi...

摘要:This article compares the Europeanization of central government in four Central and Eastern European countries (CEECs): Estonia, Latvia, Poland, and Slovakia. Using a large N survey of ministerial civil servants, it finds that the Europeanization of central government is characterized by partial convergence. The scope of Europeanization is large and similar among CEECs, reaching widely and deeply into government ministries. Moreover, patterns of Europeanization are similar among CEECs: the sam...

摘要:Recent scholarship in public administration has drawn attention to the proliferation of transnational policy-making processes and administrative practices. Although policy transfer and transgovernmental scholars have recognized the influence of these practices on domestic policy outcomes, little is known about how distinctive configurations of cross-jurisdictional policy networks form. This article addresses this issue by exploring three novel transgovernmental policy networks situated in the ...
