In the 21st century governments are increasingly focusing on
designing ways and means of connecting across boundaries to achieve
goals. Whether issues are complex and challenging climate change,
international terrorism, intergenerational poverty or more
straightforward - provision of a single point of entry to
government or delivering integrated public services - practitioners
and scholars increasingly advocate the use of approaches which
require connections across various boundaries, be they
organizational, jurisdictional or sectorial.
Governments around the world continue to experiment with various
approaches but still confront barriers, leading to a general view
that there is considerable promise in cross boundary working, but
that this is often unfulfilled. This book explores a variety of
topics in order to create a rich survey of the international
experience of cross-boundary working. The book asks fundamental
questions such as:
- What do we mean by the notion of crossing boundaries?
- Why has this emerged?
- What does cross boundary working involve?
- What are the critical enablers and barriers?
By scrutinizing these questions, the contributing authors
examine: the promise; the barriers; the enablers; the enduring
tensions; and the potential solutions to cross-boundary working. As
such, this will be an essential read for all those involved with
public administration, management and policy.
