Managerialism and the Public Services by Christopher Pollitt
From 1980 to 1990, almost every public service has undergone a "management revolution". New budgeting, appraisal and performance measurement techniques have been showered on civil servants, teachers, health service staff and local government officers. In this book, Christopher Pollitt identifies the key features of these changes in a range of public services from healthcare and education to local government and the civil service. He attempts to show how the new form of "scientific management" which has emerged is critically flawed, appraises recent alternatives to "scientific management" and covers developments in both the UK and USA.Christopher Pollitt is Emeritus Professor at the Public Governance Institute, Leuven. Previously he was Editor of Public Administration and the International Review of Administrative Sciences. Winner of the 2004 Hans Sigrist International Prize for his work of comparative government, he has worked
in the UK, the USA, the Netherlands and Belgium. He is the author of more than a dozen books and well over 60 scientific articles. Christopher has undertaken advisory roles for the European Commission, the World Bank, the OECD and five national governments. Geert Bouckaert is professor of public management at the KU Leuven Public Governance Institute.
