How to better coordinate policies and public services across public
sector organizations has been a major topic of public
administration research for decades. However, few attempts have
been made to connect these concerns with the growing body of
research on biases and blind spots in decision-making. This book
attempts to make that connection. It explores how day-to-day
decision-making in public sector organizations is subject to
different types of organizational attention biases that may lead to
a variety of coordination problems in and between organizations,
and sometimes also to major blunders and disasters. The
contributions address those biases and their effects for various
types of public organizations in different policy sectors and
national contexts. In particular, it elaborates on blind spots, or
'not seeing the not seeing', and different forms of bureaucratic
politics as theoretical explanations for seemingly irrational
organizational behaviour. The book's theoretical tools and
empirical insights address conditions for effective coordination
and problem-solving by public bureaucracies using an organizational
perspective.
