Public Sector Organizations
Organizations are the building blocks of governments. The role of organizations, formal and informal, is most readily apparent in public bureaucracy, but all the institutions of the public sector are composed of organizations, or have some organizational characteristics that affect their performance. Therefore, if scholars want to understand how governments work, a very good place to start is at the level of the organizations involved in delivering services. Likewise, if practitioners want to understand how to be effective in the public sector, they would be well-advised to consider examining the role of organizations and how to make the organizations more effective. This series will publish research-based books concerned with organizations in the public sector and will cover such issues as: the autonomy of public sector organizations, networks and network analysis, bureaucratic politics, organizational change and leadership, and methodology for studying organizations. Titles include: Cristopher Ballinas Valdes POLITICAL STRUGGLES AND THE FORGING OF AUTONOMOUS GOVERNMENT AGENCIES Geert Bouckaert, B.Guy Peters and Koen Verhoest THE COORDINATION OF PUBLIC SECTOR ORGANIZATIONS Shifting Patterns of Public Management Tero Erkkilä GOVERNMENT TRANSPARENCY Impacts and Unintended Consequences Leslie A.
