Summary

"Two dimensions of administrative change in contemporary democracies are at war with one another. On the one hand, the "new public management" argues that organizations should decentralize and empower lower-echelon employees ... On the other hand, continuing fiscal pressures and the requirements of the global economy point to the need for better coordination, not only of policies but also of programs which increasingly cut across departmental or agency lines."
