Resumen

• This text presents work by scholars in the field of public administration in Europe, and considers both American and European approaches to public sector management and administrative reform. The volume begins with introductory chapters examining public management in Europe and the United States, and explores the paradoxes that exist in administrative reform. Part two presents a range of case studies of European management reforms including the United Kingdom, France, Austria, Spain, Germany, The Netherlands and Switzerland. It offers a view of the managerial trend which appears to be sweeping across Western Europe. The third part considers management, legal state and democracy. Finally, the volume concludes with a North American perspective on the administrative reform in Europe.
