Cuts and reforms — Public services as we move into a new era
Author
Abstract
Suggested Citation
Note: The preparation of an earlier version of this paper benefited from the wise thoughts of several colleagues, including Carolyn Ban (Pittsburgh), Geert Bouckaert (Leuven), Gavin Drewry (Royal Holloway), Steve Harrison (Manchester), Christopher Hood (Oxford), Walter Kickert (Rotterdam), Frans van Nispen (Rotterdam), Isabella Proeller (Potsdam) and Colin Talbot (Manchester). None of them are responsible for what I made of their generous advice. Thanks also go to Statskontoret, the Swedish agency for public management, who originally invited me to prepare a version of this paper for the Swedish EU Presidency meeting of the EU Public Administration Network (EUPAN) in Stockholm, December 2009.
