Reviews
'Reforms in Anglophone countries have influenced many countries around the world. This book, by one of the leading researchers in the field, discusses in a deep and comparative way research on the challenges of these reforms related to the long-term impact of managerialism and politicization on public governance.' --Tom Christensen, University of Oslo, Norway'Halligan's book comes at the end of a major cycle of public sector reforms, and announces a possible transformation of our politico-administrative systems as scenarios for the 21st century. His capacity to unpack the complexity of ''managerialism'', and ''politicisation'' is impressive. His focus on four Anglophone countries, as a coherent cluster, makes his analysis stronger than any other comparison. This is a ''must-read'' to understand the new tensions in our fast changing world, and how to handle these.' --Geert Bouckaert, KU Leuven Public Governance Institute, Belgium
