Beskrivning
In this important new book, Christopher Pollitt, one of the leading researchers in public policy and management, argues that we are guilty of neglecting a fundamental dimension of both the practice and study of contemporary public policymaking and management: that of time. Pollitt traces the character of, and the reasons for, this neglect in his wide-ranging study. He considers the theoretical options for addressing time in a more sophisticated way, and applies these perspectives both to his own research and that of many others. Finally he looks at the implications for practitioners. Pollitt's analysis draws on an exceptionally wide range of work from many fields, sectors, and countries. It is rich in examples, concepts, and methods. It poses fundamental questions about some central tendencies in 21st century policymaking, and opens up a new direction for academic research.

Recensioner i media

This is an extremely well-crafted book, based on a clear and explicit framework and a convincing range of evidence. It deserves a wide readership, both among those academics who claim to have discovered innovations among re-hashed formulas and among practitioners busily engaged in the re-invention of approaches and techniques with a long, if hidden, history
