Riassunto

Written by scholars who have been at the forefront of the NPG debate as well as by scholar-practitioners, this book provides lessons learned from experience on how networked, contract-based and partnership-centered approaches to government can be undertaken in ways that preserve the values at the center of the American constitutional and political system.

Su questo libro

Recensione:

"This volume is at the same time one of the most wide-ranging treatments of new public governance and one of the most coherent. The book itself mirrors the essence of what it advocates: a regime of diverse voices seeking to apply public values collaboratively as they articulate together an ideal of democratic governance." -- Charles T. Goodsell, Emeritus, Virginia Tech Center for Public Administration and Policy

"This important book bridges the worlds of scholarship and public affairs, offering ground-breaking theoretical insights as well as concrete applications to the world of public management. The authors creatively link the new public governance to strong democratic values, applying their ideas to local governing institutions in an innovative way." -- Rosemary O'Leary, The University of Kansas
