Public bureaucracies are commonly described as being insulated from their environments and unresponsive to changes in their societies. The studies featured in this book cast doubt on such simplistic assumptions and examine to what extent administrative reforms result from a learning process. They show that the reform ideology has not been universally accepted and that there are significant variations in administrative reform. The examination of recent administrative reforms in the industrialized democracies of Australia, Britain, France, Germany, Japan, Norway, Switzerland and the USA provide an up-to-date analysis of this important debate.
