Résumé

This major textbook examines what it means to have efficient management and good quality services in the public sector and how public sector performance can be improved. Furthermore, it explores how the process of governing needs to be fundamentally altered if a government is to remain legitimate and make use of society's resources.

Key themes include:

the challenges and pressures governments experience and how these differ internationally
the changing functions of the modern government
competitiveness in the global economy
the role of the public sector in a 'mixed economy' of public, voluntary and private service provision
