Förlagets beskrivning
The International Group for Policy and Program Evaluation (INTEVAL) serves
as a forum for scholars and practitioners of public policy to discuss ideas and
developments as a community dedicated to enhancing the contribution of
evaluation to government. From the group's studies has emerged a concern with
the impact of public management reforms. Collaboration in Public Services
examines collaboration in the delivery of public policies and identifies the
challenges for policy and program evaluation. Written by a mix of academics,
program managers, evaluators, and auditors, this volume explores the forms and
challenges of collaboration in different national contexts. Chapter 1
introduces the notion and manifestations of collaboration and discusses
emerging issues. Chapter 2 examines partnerships and networks of public service
delivery. Chapter 3, drawing on Dutch and British data, reveals the QUANGO as
both a collaborative end and means. Chapter 4 analyzes Israel's push to enhance
collaboration with voluntary organizations. Chapter 5 examines the Canadian and
Danish experiences. Chapter 6 suggests that the creation of markets to improve quality has not
been totally successful at least in Nordic countries. Chapter 7 suggests that
traditional service values such as trust and parliamentary accountability are
challenged by the complexity of collaboration, but, using illustrations from
Canada and other OECD countries, argues that results-based governance can
increase trust, flexibility, and empowerment. Chapter 8 demonstrates from Dutch
and Canadian experiences that auditor responses to collaborative delivery tend
to overlook traditional roles as guardians of accountability on behalf of
parliaments. Chapter 9 deliberates the efficacy of programs involving multiple
partners. Chapter 10 discusses the lessons and challenges of evaluation and
collaborative government. This work examines collaboration in the delivery of public policies and
identifies the challenges for policy and programme evaluation. It also explores
the forms and challenges of collaboration in different national contexts.
