Description: Unbundled Government by Christopher Pollitt, Colin Talbot Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Paperback Condition Brand New Description This comprehensive study discusses the series of changes in governmental systems and structures. It considers the varying approaches of different countries and their governmental structures. Publisher Description Public sector bureaucracies have been subjected to harsh criticism. One solution which has been widely adopted over the past two decades has been to unbundle government - that is to break down monolithic departments and ministries into smaller, semi-autonomous agencies. These are often governed by some type of performance contract, are at arms length or further from their parent ministry or department and are freed from many of the normal rules governing civil service bodies.This, the first book to survey the why and the how of this epidemic of agencification, is essential reading for advanced students and researchers of public management. It includes case studies from every continent - from Japan to America and from Sweden to Tanzania, these 14 case studies (some covering more than one country) critically examine how such agencies have been set up and managed.
