New Public Management has held a central position within public
administration over the past few decades, complemented by various
models promoting post-bureaucratic organization. But 'traditional'
bureaucracy has not disappeared, and bureaucracy is in transition
in the West and the rest of the world. Bureaucracies still fill
crucial positions in modern societies, despite growing criticism of
assumed inefficiencies and unlimited growth. This volume examines a
range of issues related to bureaucracies in transition across
Europe, with a particular focus on the Nordic region. Chapters
examine a range of topics including a reinterpretation of Weber's
conception of bureaucracy; the historical development of
institutions and organizational structures in Sweden and Greece;
the myth of bureaucratic neutrality and the concept of 'competent
neutrality'; performance management systems; the anti-bureaucratic
identities of senior civil servants; the role of experts and
expertise in bureaucratic organizations; the impact of reform on
public sector executives; the curbing of corruption in Scandinavian
states; an interrogation of the Nordic administrative model;
Supreme Audit Institutions; 'street-level' bureaucracy; and the
establishment of an 'ethics of office' amongst Danish civil
servants.
