Distinguished scholars from six countries investigate the effects
of reforms in a number of areas, including budgeting, personnel
management, and accountability. While reforms have been beneficial
in some of these areas, success has been far from universal. By
comparing and contrasting measures in Canada, the United States,
Britain, Australia, New Zealand, and Europe, contributors isolate
and evaluate factors - such as individual political leaders and the
complexity of government - that influence the success or failure of
reforms. Contents: Introduction - B. Guy Peters (Pittsburgh) and
