Rezensionen

'In historical depth and comparative sweep Lawrence E. Lynn's Public Management Old and New is a tour de force. For starters, it is easily the best comparison of bureaucratic development in the United States, the United Kingdom, Germany and France ever written. Then add that Public Management Old and New is the best written and most sophisticated synthesis of modern public management theory available. Finally, in Public Management Old and New, Lynn brilliantly puts contemporary state-based public management in the context of the governance perspective. This book is destined to be a classic.' - H. George Frederickson, Professor, Department of Public Administration, Policy Research Institute, The University of Kansas

'This book would appeal strongly on advanced international public management and comparative courses and is basically a good and lively read'. - Ewan Ferlie, Royal Holloway, University of London, Local Government Studies
