Description

Continuity and Change in Public Policy and Management offers a fresh perspective on long-term policymaking and organizational change. By combining international comparison, theory development, and original case study analysis, two leading public policy scholars challenge current models of policymaking.

This book provides an integrated treatment of national and local policymaking in two major public services - hospital care and the police - in England and Belgium. Drawing on extensive interviews and documentary analysis, Pollitt and Bouckaert argue for a nuanced intermediate position that challenges both orthodox and post-modernist views.

Highly sought by advanced students and academics in public administration, public management, government, comparative politics, or public policy courses, this book will also prove valuable for those studying police studies and healthcare management.
