Shinkansen: From Bullet Train to Symbol of Modern Japan
ISBN: 9780415320528 / Angielski / Twarda / 2006 / 268 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. The image of the shinkansen - or 'bullet train' - passing Mount Fuji is one of the most renowned images of modern Japan. Yet, despite its international reputation for speed and punctuality, little is understood about what makes it work so well and what its impact is. This is a comprehensive account of the history of the shinkansen, from its planning during the Pacific War, to its launch in 1964 and subsequent development. It goes on to analyze the reasons behind the bullet train's success, and demonstrates how it went from being simply a high-speed rail network to attaining the...

This important new study, by a leading scholar in the field, offers a fresh perspective on public management. In contrast to the widespread claim of the modernization gurus' that a new era of global convergence is dawning in public management, it uses cultural theory to show why ideas about how to manage government are inherently plural and contradictory, and likely to remain so.

A Century of Fiscal Squeeze Politics: 100 Years of Austerity, Politics, and Bureaucracy in Britain
ISBN: 9780198779612 / Angielski / Twarda / 2017 / 280 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. This volume identifies and compares 'fiscal squeezes' (major efforts to cut public spending and/or raise taxes) in the UK over a century from 1900 to 2015. The authors examine how different the politics of fiscal squeeze and austerity is today from what it was a century ago, how (if at all) fiscal squeezes reshaped the state and the provision of public services, and how political credit and blame played out after austerity episodes. The analysis is both quantitative and qualitative, starting with reported financial outcomes from historical statistics and then going behind those numbers to...

ISBN: 9780691129952 / Angielski / Twarda / 2010 / 224 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. The blame game, with its finger-pointing and mutual buck-passing, is a familiar feature of politics and organizational life, and blame avoidance pervades government and public organizations at every level. Political and bureaucratic blame games and blame avoidance are more often condemned than analyzed. In The Blame Game, Christopher Hood takes a different approach by showing how blame avoidance shapes the workings of government and public services. Arguing that the blaming phenomenon is not all bad, Hood demonstrates that it can actually help to pin down responsibility, and he...

ISBN: 9780199687022 / Angielski / Twarda / 2015 / 264 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. The UK is said to have been one of the most prolific reformers of its public administration.

A Government that Worked Better and Cost Less? aims to address that gap, offering a unique evaluation of UK government... 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 t...
