Abstract

This chapter reviews the emerging trends in national and subnational government budgeting and maps the directions for future research. The authors take a three-step approach. First, they synthesize the budgeting literature from multiple disciplines. Since budgeting has long been recognized as an interdisciplinary field, budgeting research is not only published in public administration journals but also regularly appears in journals in political science and public economics. Second, the authors outline several research topics on budgeting that have been overlooked and call for further research. Third, they pose a challenging question: what shapes the identity of budgeting research? This is a legitimate and pressing question – does budgeting face an “identity crisis”? The authors explore the unique role of budgeting in its contribution to democratic and effective governance.
