The free market has become the accepted model for the public sector. Politicians on all sides compete to spread the gospel. And so, in the UK and elsewhere, there's been massive investment in public sector 'improvement', 'customer choice' has been increased and new targets have been set and refined.But our experience is that things haven't changed much. This is because governments have invested in the wrong things. Belief in targets, incentives and inspection; belief in economies of scale and shared back-office services; belief in 'deliverology... these are all wrong-headed ideas and yet they have underpinned this government's attempts to reform the public sector.John Seddon here dissects the changes that have been made in a range of services, including housing benefits, social care and policing. His descriptions beggar belief, though they would be funnier if it wasn't our money that was being wasted.In place of the current mess, he advocates a Systems Thinking approach where individuals come first, waste is reduced and responsibility replaces blame. It's an approach that is proven, successful and relatively cheap - and one that governments around the world, and their advisers, need to adopt urgently.

In 2004 the European Union and NATO each added ten new member states, most from the post-communist countries of Eastern and Central Europe. In order to prepare for membership, these countries had to make many thousands of institutional and legal adjustments. Indeed, they often tried to modernize in just a few years, implementing practices that evolved over many decades in Western Europe. This book emphasizes the way that policy elites in Central and Eastern Europe often 'ordered from the menu' of established Western practices. When did this emulation of Western practices succeed and when did it result in a fiasco? Professor Jacoby examines empirical cases in agriculture, regional policy, consumer protection, health care, civilian control of the military, and military professionalism from Hungary, the Czech Republic, Poland, Bulgaria, and the Ukraine. The book addresses debates in institutionalist theory, including conditionality, Europeanization, and external influences on democratic and market transitions.

Voor wie het begrip participatie vanuit verschillende wetenschappelijke invalshoeken wil bekijken, biedt deze uitgave een onmisbare eerste aanzet. Wat wordt precies bedoeld met het containerbegrip participatie? En wat niet? Wat moet die participatie precies opleveren: nieuwe inzichten en kennis voor beleid? Of meer sociaal kapitaal en vertrouwen? En is participatie middel of doel, vertrekpunt of aankomst? De verschillende academische brillen waarmee naar participatie gekeken wordt, maakt dit boek uniek. Een betere inzicht en begrip van elkaars brillen levert immers niet alleen vanuit academisch perspectief een meerwaarde op, maar is ook zinvol ten aanzien van de alledaagse interactie tussen burger en bestuur. Al te vaak blijkt dat de ene partij onvoldoende zicht heeft op het perspectief en de verwachtingen van de andere partij; met onbegrip en conflicten tot gevolg.Inhoudstafel1. Burgerparticipatie: een politicologisch perspectief 2. Juridische benadering van participatie 3. Participatie: een sociologische benadering 4. Participatie als concept binnen de revalidatiegeneeskunde 5. Het politiek-filosofische debat over participatie en representatie: van de historische bronnen naar het supranationale domein 6. Een beleidswetenschappelijk perspectief op maatschappelijke participatie 7. Een economische kijk op maatschappelijke participatie 8. Besluit - Een multidisciplinaire kijk op maatschappelijke participatie

This book provides a timely and novel contribution to understanding and enhancing evidence use. It builds on and complements the popular and best-selling "What Works?: Evidence-based policy and practice in public services" (Davies, Nutley and Smith, Policy Press, 2000), by drawing together current knowledge about how research gets used and how this can be encouraged and improved. In particular, the authors explore various multidiscipliary frameworks for understanding the research use agenda; consider how research use and the impact of research can be assessed; summarise the empirical evidence from the education, health care, social care and criminal justice fields about how research is used and how this can be improved and draw out practical issues that need to be addressed if research is to have greater impact on public services. "Using evidence" is important reading for university and government researchers, research funding bodies, public service managers and professionals, and students of public policy and management. It will also prove an invaluable guide for anyone involved in the implementation of evidence-based policy and practice.

"Ce livre est le fruit d'une enquête collective autour de la genèse de l'administration en Europe, entre construction de l'État 'moderne' et 'révolution' de l'écrit. Il invite à quitter le devant de la scène politique pour en visiter les coulisses; à détacher le regard des ors du pouvoir pour s'intéresser à la part grise de l'action administrative, à ses instruments et ses techniques documentaires. Ce volume réunit une série d'études de cas, encadrées par deux textes qui interrogent les seuils chronologiques de cette histoire de l'administration. Ces dernières portent sur les pratiques administratives des différents pouvoirs européens entre le XIIe et le XVIIe siècle (communes, seigneuries, évêchés, papauté, royautés, principautés ou Empire). La première partie de l'ouvrage, intitulée 'Règles, formes et modèles d'écriture administrative', aborde la question de la matrice notariale des administrations médiévales, de leur style et de leur langue."--Back cover
