Lessons from experience : experiental learning in administrative reforms in eight democracies

Omtale

The book shows how government organizations learn about themselves and their own performance. The comparative examination of a number of cases from a range of industrialized democracies points out that there are several barriers to learning about reform and reorganization within the public sector. The studies are important for students of comparative government, as well as for the practitioners of administration. The empirical basis of the book consists of series of recent administrative reforms in Australia, some European countries, Japan, and the USA. With bibliography and indexes.
