Recenzii
"Running the Government brilliantly and boldly asks and answers fundamental questions of how to build administrative capacity in an era when governance is challenged by globalization, information technology, demands for higher performance, and tougher public scrutiny. Dr. Schiavo-Campo examines the machinery of government both in terms of how it operates and its connections to society. With its historical perspective, national and international scope, and trenchant advice, this book is a true classic in public administration." – Allen Schick, University of Maryland, USA
"This is not only a comprehensive but also a lively account of the politics and practice of public administration in developed and developing countries. Schiavo-Campo’s engaging writing style enables students’ understanding of complex issues, and entices seasoned academics and government practitioners to think again. In these pages, history lives and bumps up against problems of the present and future." – Richard Batley, University of Birmingham, UK
"Dr. Schiavo-Campo has written a new, useful book, on the importance of institutions. Relying on his profound experience and using many real-life examples, he reminds policymakers and, especially, economists that policies can never be ‘optimal’ when the institutions that will administer and monitor them are not adequate. Schiavo-Campo shows an almost unmatched knowledge of this area. The book will be very useful to both students and policymakers." – Vito Tanzi, former Director of Fiscal Affairs at the International Monetary Fund (1981–2000)
"This is an important book both for those who study American government and those who seek to better understand governmental processes around the world, and it is ideally suited for advanced courses in public administration. This is one of the few books on public administration and policy that provides the reader with an understanding of the unique challenges faced by government officials in developed and developing countries." – Louis A. Picard, University of Pittsburgh, USA
