Public innovation is distinctive from private sector innovation by
being set in a political system rather than a market. The roles of
citizens and elected politicians as well as public servants and
other stakeholders are frequently relevant. Public organizations
can be creators, funders, orchestrators or sense-makers of
innovations, which are carried out with the aim of benefitting
society. This book provides a comprehensive insight into the theory
and practice of public innovation using a wide range of research
evidence about the processes, drivers and barriers, stakeholders
and outcomes of innovation. Using the lens of public value, the
book offers a stimulating discussion of how public innovation is
valued and contested in current societies. Valuing Public
Innovation aims to help develop a deeper understanding of
innovation and how to use that knowledge in practical ways. This is
essential reading for academics and students in the fields of
innovation, organisation studies, public administration and public
policy, as well as for policymakers and practitioners.
Policies in the EU are largely made by national civil servants who
prepare and implement decisions in Brussels as well as at home.
Despite their important role, these national civil servants form a
relatively hidden world that has received little attention from
both the media and academics. This volume considers a wide variety
of sources and research methods to answer such questions as: how
many civil servants are actually involved in EU-related activities?
What do these civil servants do when they engage with the EU? And
how do they negotiate their dual roles? "The New Eurocrats" offers
unique and invaluable insight into these civil servants and their
working practices--and uncovers some secrets in the world of EU
governance along the way.
