"Are public sector institutions being exposed to ever-greater oversight, audit, and inspection in the name of efficiency, accountability, and risk management?

A central aspect of the study is an eight country comparison of variety in the use of controls based in oversight, competition, mutuality, and contrived randomness in the selected domains of the high bureaucracy at the core of the state, the higher education sector, and the prison sector.

A central aspect of the study is an eight country comparison of variety in the use of controls based in oversight, competition, mutuality and contrived randomness in the selected domains of the high bureaucracy at the core of the state, the higher education sector and the prison sector. Countries covered include Australia, France, Germany, Japan, the Netherlands, Norway, the UK and the USA.
Providing a comparison of trends in the last quarter century in control over public sector activities in OECD countries, this book will be invaluable reading for academics and graduate students focussing on political science and public administration, as well as policymakers in OECD countries.
