There is continual concern about the ability of governments to
perform the duties and responsibilities that their citizens have
come to expect from them. Many citizens view government as inept,
arthritic, and dedicated to the preservation of the bureaucratic
status quo. As we close the twentieth century, the challenge for
democratic governments is to become adaptive, flexible, innovative,
and creative. In short, they need to become learning organizations.
This book explores what it will take for governments to break out
of their traditional ways of approaching problems and leam new
approaches to finding solutions.Can Governments Learn? examines
organizational learning in the public sector. It seeks to
understand what role policy and program evaluation information can
play in helping governments to learn. Among the democratic
societies that are studied are Belgium, Canada, the Netherlands,
Sweden, and the United States. Their governmental systems have
produced and learned from evaluation information in quite different
ways. Significantly, the studies documented here show that the
concept of organizational learning has vitality and applicability
cross-nationally.Can Governments Learn ? evaluates preconditions
for governmental learning as well as the institutional and human
resource factors that contribute to the process. This is the third
volume in the comparative policy analysis series. It is essential
for policymakers, government officials, and scholars interested in
improving the performance of governments.
