摘要：Using a process sequencing approach, this article shows how Italy's response to an earlier fiscal crisis has shaped the response to the current one in two public sector areas that are especially susceptible to fiscal constraints: the budget process and personnel policies. Substantively, it shows the extent to which Italian policymakers have used the repertoire of solutions of the past and the pressures of the current crisis to freeze the expenditure of the public sector. Previous New Public Ma...

摘要：The decades since 1946 have seen repeated rhetoric supportive of Herbert Simon's critique, published that year, of Luther Gulick's Notes on the Theory of Organization' (published in 1937). The literature offers few contrary opinions against this support. The present article presents a minute analysis of Simon's arguments against Gulick. The reason for this focus is that the rhetoric supportive of Simon's critique addresses the manner in which he argued against Gulick. It is shown how Simon's c...

摘要：The trend towards flexible career arrangements has not left EU institutions untouched, as is manifest in the growing reliance on temporary and part-time officials. How does the increasing career hybridity within and across EU institutions affect European socialization, i.e. the extent to which officials embody the spirit of working for Europe' and adopt supranational norms? We conceptualize European socialization as a mutually reinforcing process shaped by the interaction of officials with the...

摘要：There are inherent tensions between government policy on adult social care work in England and the practice of that care work. This paper locates these tensions within the masculine model of professionalization contained in English adult social care policy and its interpretation by a largely female workforce. We situate our analysis within critical realism, exploring street level bureaucracy in manager and care worker policy interpretations. We argue that their exercise of agency draws substan...

摘要：To what extent do China's non-profit and voluntary organizations have the capacities to represent effectively the interests of their constituents? In this paper, we examine the prevalence of various representational dimensions in these organizations. Our survey findings provide evidence that, other things being equal, an organization's levels of descriptive and participatory representation have a positive and significant impact on its levels of substantive and symbolic representation. Our find...

摘要：Public administration has undergone a fundamental change in China since Deng Xiaoping initiated a process of openness and reform in the late 1970s. While reform is widespread in Greater China (China, Taiwan, Hong Kong, and Macau), only limited scholarship has been conducted to theorize these changes and empirically document them. This is somewhat surprising given the growing international prominence of China as a major powerhouse in the world economy and a political leader. This symposium seek...

摘要：Public Administration (PA) as a field of study in China has made tremendous strides over the last three decades. This paper provides an overview of PA research in China from a sample of 2,877 articles published in six top PA journals in mainland China and Taiwan between 1998 and 2008. Our analysis based on these journal publications reveals several critical shortcomings of PA research in China in research reporting, approaches, and methodologies, pointing to a long journey ahead before the ful...
