Böcker av Sylvia Horton

Over the last two decades public services have been directly affected by the radical, political and economic changes which have characterized Britain.

The book surveys the evolution of public management, assesses the core theories and approaches and goes on to examines all aspects of public management in the UK today, including strategic management, performance management, financial management, and human resources management.

Designed as a successor to the editors' highly successful Managing the New Public Services, the book places public management and, in particular, the 'Third Way' as adopted by New Labour, in its economic, political and historical context, including the impact of globalization and European integration.
