This third edition has been completely rewritten to incorporate a mass of recent empirical data and to introduce a new theoretical and conceptual framework by identifying three leading visions of reform. Chapters analyse key debates, the process of change, different national systems and trajectories, results, political factors, and paradoxes and trade-offs in an integrated volume. Covering reforms over a thirty-year period (1980-2010), the book offers a detailed and structured comparison of twelve countries and the EU Commission by means of an unparalleled synthesis of evidence and sources. Extensive factual appendices provide an invaluable resource for students. Review: a seminal contribution to the discipline ... well written and accessible to a wide audience ... skilfully weaves a comparative viewpoint throughout and looks at public sector management from a broad all-encompassing perspective. The third edition will likely have a greater impact and a wider readership than the first two because its publication comes at a critical time ... Public Management Reforms stands out from its peers as a remarkably impartial look at how twelve governments have sought to reform their operations. The book will stand the test of time and take its place among the classics in public administration. Donald J. Savoie, Universite de Moncton.
