Agency Merger And Bureaucratic Redesign,New
Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
Product Description Since the expansion of public programs in the 1960s, charges of bureaucratic inefficiency, unresponsiveness, and red tape have been rampant. The response has often been extensive reorganization in an effort to change the source of control, carry out specific missions, and to achieve greater interagency cooperation. Karen M. Hult examines why these restructurings often fail, through three case studies: the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Design (HUD); the Minnesota Department of Energy, Planning, and Development; and the Minneapolis Community Development Agency. Hult's study assesses the usefulness of mergers and reorganizations as a policy tool, and offers a valuable contribution to the study of public management and organization design. Review Hult's book features comparison of three different institutions, all of which were intentionally merged. . . . taken from different levels of governance: the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development; the Minnesota Department of Energy, Planning, and Development; and the Minneapolis Community Development Agency. . . . Wellorganized, welldocumented, and in plain English, not impenetrable jargon, and so accessible to many difference audiences.American Political Science Review About the Author Karen M. Hult is professor of political science at Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University.
