Sedan det moderna forskningsuniversitetet såg dagens ljus för två hundra år sen har forskning och vetenskap gjort bevisligen världen bättre. Kunskap, kreativitet, kritik och kollegialitet har utgjort nyckel till denna exempellösa framgång. Akademins framgång har dock inte vilat på en demokratisk-politisk logik som genomsyrar dagens samhälle, utan på en parallell och alldeles egen verklighet där forskarna i sitt sökande har drivits av sitt engagemang och sin nyfikenhet. När denna anda får råda inom vetenskapen blir det också bra för samhället i stort. Men i dagens projektsamhälle med sina krav på en kortsiktig resultatleverans framstår akademins sätt att fungera som provocerande. Hur kunde det bli så och vad gör vi åt det? I denna bok söker ett antal engagerade forskare, tidigare universitetsrektorer och ämbetsmän svar på dessa frågor. De är förskräckta över en utveckling där djup kunskap, vildsint kreativitet, kritiska samtal och kollegialt ansvar kastas på sophögen, denna utveckling får inte fortsätta! Då rycker vi undan mattan för mänskliga framsteg och ett civiliserat samhälle. Vi måste försvara de värden som akademin står på sedan lång tid tillbaka - inte för att de är traditionella, utan för att de är de modernaste vi har.

Since 2008, the world has experienced an enormous decrease of wealth. By many measures the impact of the crisis was severe. The fall in GDP, the collapse of world trade, the rise in unemployment, and the credit slump reached bigger proportions than in any other crisis since World War II. Although the economic figures seem to improve in some countries, the crisis continues being a challenging issue and is said to be one of the most important problems governments face today.The crisis has put public finances under ever increasing pressure, and governments have responded through austerity measures such as new fiscal rules and budgeting procedures and cutbacks of public spending. Public Management in Times of Austerity seeks to explore the austerity policies adopted by European governments and their consequences to public management. It asks how governments have implemented new rules leading to more stringency in public budgeting and financial management, and how they have cut back public expenditure. These questions are examined comparatively through case studies in different parts of Europe, and variations across countries are discussed and explained. Throughout the volume, the consequences of the crisis and austerity policies for public management are discussed. What is the relationship between crisis and decision-making in the public sector, and how does austerity affect public-sector organisation? As the previous crisis in the 1970s resulted in a major reform movement, which was later referred to as New Public Management, Public Management in Times of Austerity look to understand whether the current crisis also leads to a wave of public management reform, and if so what is the content of this?
