Public administration has evolved into an extraordinarily complex
form of governance employing traditional bureaucracy,
quasi-government public organizations, and collaborative networks
of nongovernmental organizations. Analyzing and improving
government performance - a matter of increasing concern to
citizens, elected officials, and managers of the organizations
themselves - has in turn become a much more fraught undertaking.
Understanding the new complexities calls for new research
approaches, "The Art of Governance" presents a fresh palette of
research based on a new framework of governance that was first
developed by coeditor Laurence E. Lynn, Jr., with Carolyn J.
Heinrich, and Carolyn J. Hill in their book, "Improving Governance:
A New Logic for Empirical Research". That book identified how the
relationships among citizens, legislatures, executive and
organizational structures, and stakeholders interact, in order to
better diagnose and solve problems in public management. This
volume takes that relational concept into new realms of
conceptualization and application as it links alternative
institutional and administrative structures to program performance
in different policy areas and levels of government. Collectively,
the contributors begin to paint a new picture of how management
matters throughout the policy process. They illuminate how, at
different levels of an organization, leadership and management vary
- and explore both the significance of structural systems and the
importance of alternative organizational forms for the
implementation of public policies. "The Art of Governance" shows
that effective governance is much more complex than
paint-by-number. But if the variety of forms and models of
governance are analyzed using advanced theories, models, methods,
and data, important lessons can be applied that can lead us to more
successful institutions.
