This book describes and compares how semi-autonomous agencies are
created and governed by 30 governments. It leads practitioners and
researchers through the crowded world of agencies, describing their
tasks, autonomy, control and history. Evidence-based lessons and
recommendations are formulated to improve agencification policies
in post-NPM times.

Originating in the Anglo-American world, the New Public Management
paradigm appears to have swept over various Continental-European
countries, producing convergence of administrative reform. Specific
implementations of NPM, however, show a surprisingly large variety
of forms, shapes and results. These include performance indicators,
personnel reforms, creation and management of executive agencies,
public private partnerships, benchmarking and evaluations of
reforms. This volume demonstrates and explains how the ambiguous
concept of NPM is crafted and shaped differently in various
institutional contexts.
