International Bureaucracy
Challenges and Lessons for Public Administration Research Edited by Michael W. Bauer, Christoph Knill, Steffen Eckhard
Public Sector Organizations Series Editors B. Guy Peters Maurice Falk Professor of Government Pittsburgh University USA Geert Bouckaert Professor Public Management Institute Katholieke Universiteit Leuven Belgium
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 comprised 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 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 organizations more effective. This series publishes research-based books concerned with organizations in the public sector and covers such issues as: the autonomy of public sector organizations; networks and network analysis; bureaucratic politics; organizational change and leadership; and methodology for studying organizations.
