Political Science I / Changing the Model of Public Administration
Practice question · Put in order

Arrange these contributions to administrative reform in order of publication.

Hints
  1. The public choice model comes two decades before the reforms it justified.
  2. Governance follows new public management by about six years.
Show the answer
  1. Niskanen on the budget-maximising bureau (1971)
  2. Hood, A Public Management for All Seasons (1991)
  3. Osborne and Gaebler, Reinventing Government (1992)
  4. Rhodes, Understanding Governance (1997)
  5. Dunleavy and colleagues on digital-era governance (2006)
Why

The twenty-year gap at the front is worth noticing: the intellectual case was available long before the political conditions that made it actionable. The rest of the sequence is a reaction chain, reform, then the problems reform created, then the attempt to repair them.
