This book examines why many ambitious public management policies do
not materialize. Comprehensive reforms do not generate relevant and
lasting changes. Yet some evolutions may occur that actually
improve the efficiency level inside public administrations. The
book identifies how and why such processes may occur. It explores
an innovative approach to the way reform policies inside the public
sector are assessed. The opening chapters examine the contributions
of different disciplines to the study of change in the public
sector, before proposing a framework to better understand
management developments. The book then reviews eight crosscutting
central government programmes successively launched since the late
1960s, examines how these programmes were designed and constructed,
and analyses the ways in which three toolkits are appropriated:
dashboards and indicators, cost-benefit analysis, and ex post
evaluation. The final chapters examine the links between the
development of agencification and the way in which central
government proceeds to implement it, and demonstrate why and how
the structure of human resources is crucial for initiating change
processes. Together, the book proposes lessons for public
practitioners as well as for academic purposes.
