Getting Agencies to Work Together

The Practice and Theory of Managerial Craftsmanship

1998 || Paperback || Eugene Bardach || Rowman & Littlefield

Collaboration between government agencies, an old joke goes, is an unnatural act committed by nonconsenting adults. Eugene Bardach argues that today's opinion climate favoring more results-oriented government makes collaboration a lot more natural--though it is still far from easy. In this book, Bardach diagnoses the difficulties, explains how they are sometimes overcome, and offers practical ideas for public managers, advocates, and others interested in developing interagency collaborative n...

Competitive Authoritarianism / 1st edition

Hybrid Regimes after the Cold War

2010 || Paperback || Steven Levitsky e.a. || Cambridge University Press

Based on a detailed study of 35 cases in Africa, Asia, Latin America, and post-communist Eurasia, this book explores the fate of competitive authoritarian regimes between 1990 and 2008. It finds that where social, economic, and technocratic ties to the West were extensive, as in Eastern Europe and the Americas, the external cost of abuse led incumbents to cede power rather than crack down, which led to democratization. Where ties to the West were limited, external democratizing pressure was w...

Politiek in tijden van wantrouwen

Een nieuwe aanpak voor een falend beleid

2024 || Paperback || Bram Verschuere || Lannoo

In 2024 vinden in België verkiezingen op alle beleidsniveaus plaats. Peilingen voorspellen een afstraffing van de traditionele politiek. Burgers zijn gefrustreerd door de vele schandalen. De overheid lijkt niet meer in staat om belangrijke maatschappelijke vraagstukken aan te pakken. Het politiek-bestuurlijk systeem kraakt in zijn voegen. Tegelijk is het debat over politiek en bestuur van een bedroevend niveau. De analyse raakt vaak niet voorbij het cliché van de zakkenvullende en amateuris...
