He begins by observing that governments typically react to policy problems by embracing specialization, which tends to undermine efforts to deliver better coordinated policies. Drawing upon a variety of perspectives, both theoretical and multinational, he tackles this conundrum by focusing on the concept of horizontal management. His conceptual analysis is supplemented by four case studies of public sector coordination (Homeland Security in the U.S., child protection in the U.K., policymaking in Finland, and the European Union). Finding the appropriate balance between specialization and coordination, Peters concludes, is a knotty problem yet essential to the delivery of the most effective policies"-- 4aPolitical planningxCase studies. 4aPublic administrationxManagementxCase studies. 4aPolicy sciencesxCase studies. 0aStudies in government and public policy  2lcccBK  00104070aPNLIBbPNLIBcGENd2021-06-17oJF1525.P6 P48 2015pPNLIB21062612r2021-06-17w2021-06-17yBK  c2799d2799
