Book Description Paperback. Condition: Good. 205 pages. Cover wornGovernmental restructuring is much in vo gue. Throughout the developed and developing world, governments a re selling state assets, reorganising government departments, con tracting out publicly funded services, and reforming their manage ment systems. One of the most distinctive and controversial featu res of New Zealand's reforms is the emphasis on contractualist mo des of governance, including the use of new kinds of contracting within the public sector. These massive reforms raise important q uestions about the future role of the state. They also raise issu es concerning the accountability of public agencies, the ethos of the public service, the proper scope of judicial review, and the appropriate limits to contracting out. The essays in The State U nder Contract examine the issues surrounding 'the new contractual ism'. While most of the chapters focus on New Zealand, some explo re state-sector reforms in Australia, Canada and the United State s. The book concludes with an analysis of the philosophical found ations underpinning the increasing reliance on market mechanisms and consumer preferences. Seller Inventory # 1332j
