The State at Work
Representing the most extensive research on public employment, these two volumes explore the radical changes that have taken place in the configuration of national public services due to a general expansion of public employment that was followed by stagnation and decreases. Part-time employment and the involvement of women also increased as a component of the public sector and were linked to the most important growth areas such as the educational, health care and personal social services sectors. The two volumes that make up this study shed important insight on these changes.

Public Administration
Public Administration: Research Strategies, Concepts, and Methods explores how scholars of public administration and institutional politics can improve their analysis by focusing on the contextual particularities of their research problems and considering the use of multiple theories and methods. The book functions as an introduction to central themes of public administration and related traditions of research, but also proposes a new pluralist approach for studying public institutions.
The State After Communism
As the European Union (EU) launches its common currency (the Euro), Central European (CE) nations are searching for best practices in public liability management in order to smooth their integration into the EU. This work addresses that concern, examining borrowing policies, institution building, portfolio optimization, and the implications of the Euro and EU accession for public debt management. To help the CE countries achieve their goals, the World Bank and the European Commission held a two-day seminar in Brussels in mid-December 1997. European Union Accession presents the papers delivered at that seminar which was attended by all ten EU applicant countries: Bulgaria, the Czech Republic,...
Regierungsorganisation und politische Führung in Deutschland
Der Band bietet eine politikwissenschaftliche Gesamtdarstellung der Bedingungen und Charakteristika der Regierungsorganisation und politischen Führung durch Kanzler und Bundesregierung in der Bundesrepublik Deutschland. Im Zentrum der Studie steht eine vergleichende Analyse der politischen Ressourcen und Führungsstile deutscher Kanzler seit Konrad Adenauer. Diese werden auf zwei Ebenen - innerhalb des engeren Bereichs der Regierung und auf der Ebene des politischen Systems - betrachtet. Die Analyse ist eingebettet in eine ausgreifende Darstellung und Diskussion der unterschiedlichen theoretisch-konzeptionellen Ansätze der internationalen "leadership"-Forschung. Historische Rückblicke und ein internationaler Vergleich runden die Studie ab.
From East Germans to Germans?
This study examines the problems of integrating East Germans into a political system that they did not create.
Bureaucratic Elites in Western European States
Bureaucratic Elites in West European States provides valuable information about the structures and composition of the higher civil service and its position in the political structure through a comparative analysis of Britain, France, Germany, Italy, Spain, Belgium, the Netherlands, Austria, Greece, Denmark, and Sweden. The book explores how higher civil service has developed in the light of the massive changes in European societies in the past thirty years. Changes include the size of the top level of the civil service, the growing social diversity of its ranks and well as the tendency to recruit from outside the civil service. The book also examines how wider social changes, such as the democratisation of education, the growth of interest groups, and the increasing importance of the European Union impact on the higher levels of bureaucracy producing similar patterns of change throughout Europe.
