Since the 1980s, a wave of reforms of public management has swept
the world. The investigation into the effects of such major
transformations has, however, been unbalanced: important countries
have received only limited attention. This timely book fills the
gap by investigating the dynamics of contemporary public management
reform in five European countries that gave shape to the Napoleonic
administrative tradition - France, Greece, Italy, Portugal, Spain.
Edoardo Ongaro presents an in-depth investigation of the reform of
public management in these countries, revisiting major topics of
theoretical interest in the study of public administration. He
addresses key issues regarding the influence of the past on the
transformation of the public sector, and the direction of reforms.
The work looks both backward, to the legacy of the Napoleonic
administrative tradition and the way it affected the paths of
reform, and forward, exploring whether and to what extent the
fascinating idea of the Neo-Weberian State is an alternative to
global paradigms such as New Public Management and New Public
Governance. This unique book will prove a fascinating read for
scholars in the fields of public administration, public management,
government and political science. Policy-makers - and their
advisors - engaged in reform of the public sector will also find
this book to be of great interest.
