Why does public management - the art of the state - so often go
wrong, producing failure and fiasco instead of public service? What
are the different ways in which control or regulation can be
applied to government? Why do we find contradictory recipes for the
improvement of public services? Are the forces of modernity set to
produce world-wide convergence in ways of organizing government?
This important new study aims to explore such questions, central to
current debates over public management. Combining contemporary and
historical experience, it employs grid/group cultural theory as an
organizing frame and method of exploration. Using examples from
different places and eras, the study seeks to identify the
recurring variety of ideas about how to organize public services.
And contrary to widespread claims that modernization will bring a
new global uniformity, it argues that variety is unlikely to
disappear from doctrine and practice in public management.
