The public sector is characterized by a profound transformation across the globe, the scope and ramifications of which have yet to be interpreted. In order for this act of transformation to be converted into an ongoing state of improvement, policymakers and civil service leaders must learn to implement and evaluate change in the public sector. Reforming the Public Sector is an important contribution to that end. By placing their approach to public administration reform in a broad international context the authors included in this volume identify a road map for public management and offer us a better understanding about the principles underpinning ongoing reforms in the public sector. Some of the specific issues addressed in this book include the uses and abuses of public sector transparency, the "audit explosion," and the relationship between public service motivation and job satisfaction.
