The neo-Weberian state constitutes an attempt to combine the
Weberian model of administration with the principles laid down
during the retreat from the bureaucratic management paradigm (new
public management and public governance). The concept of
neo-Weberian state involves changing the model of operation of
administrative structures from an inward-oriented one, focused on
compliance with internal rules, into a model focused on meeting
citizens' needs (not by resorting to commercialisation, as is the
case with new public management, but by building appropriate
quality of administration). This book discusses the context of the
neo-Weberian approach and its impact on the processes of societal
transformation. Further, it identifies and systematises the
theoretical and functional elements of the approach under
consideration. This volume includes comparative analyses of the
neo-Weberian state and public management paradigms. In the
empirical part of the work, its authors review selected policies
(economic, innovation, industrial, labour, territorial, urban
management, and health) from the perspective of tools typical of
the neo-Weberian approach. This part also includes a critical
scrutiny of changes which have taken place in the framework of
selected policies in recent decades. The study assesses the
appropriateness of the neo-Weberian approach to the management of
public affairs regarding countries which have modernised their
public administrations in its spirit. One of the aims of this
analysis is to answer the question whether the application of
neo-Weberian ideas may result in qualitative changes in the context
of public policies. The final part of the book covers implications
for public management resulting from the concept of neo-Weberian
state. Public Policy and the Neo-Weberian State is suitable for
researchers and students who study political economy, public policy
and modern political theory.
