London Government, and How to Reform It (Classic Reprint)


Book Description

Excerpt from London Government, and How to Reform It Since the autumn of 1880, when this Paper was written, the question of London Government has assumed an immediate importance not then contem plated; and the contest as to the necessity for reform has been displaced by arguments as to the shape such reform ought to take. The principle of a representative municipal. Authority finally controlling all expenditure and all administration, will be found fully discussed in the following pages. This principle has now been confirmed and accepted, both by the Government and by the inhabitants of London.

A Government that Worked Better and Cost Less?


Book Description

The UK is said to have been one of the most prolific reformers of its public administration. Successive reforms have been accompanied by claims that the changes would make the world a better place by transforming the way government worked. Despite much discussion and debate over government makeovers and reforms, however, there has been remarkably little systematic evaluation of what happened to cost and performance in UK government during the last thirty years. A Government that Worked Better and Cost Less? aims to address that gap, offering a unique evaluation of UK government modernization programmes from 1980 to the present day. The book provides a distinctive framework for evaluating long-term performance in government, bringing together the 'working better' and 'costing less' dimensions, and presents detailed primary evidence within that framework. This book explores the implications of their findings for widely held ideas about public management, the questions they present, and their policy implications for a period in which pressures to make government 'work better and cost less' are unlikely to go away.
