Budget Procedures and Fiscal Performance
We analyze whether performance budgeting, budget transparency and medium-term expenditure frameworks are associated with the predicted moderation in the increase in the public debt-to-GDP ratio in OECD countries between 2008 and 2014. We find these countries naturally separate into two groups with different fiscal trajectories, but there is considerable heterogeneity within both groups in their use of the procedures. Notably, Belgium, Hungary and Norway present good fiscal trajectories but low levels of budget procedure use. Here, insights from political economy contribute little as the three countries fail to adhere to most of the rules deemed necessary for fiscal discipline. However, they present several common features: decentralized decision-making; distinct organizational climate governing budget administration; and, heavy reliance on agencies/public-private bodies. A standard package for enhancing fiscal performance does not therefore seem to exist, rather countries selectively adopt budget procedures to match their resources and institutions.
The Effectiveness of Reforms in Public Sector Accounting and Financial Management
This paper interprets through theoretical lenses the public sector financial management reforms adopted in Spain between 2010 and 2015. In this period, coping with intense external pressure, the country passed many fiscally-oriented reforms to escape the 2008 crisis including a change in the constitution. We study the changes that have been adopted in three key public accounting and financial management areas: budgeting, reporting and auditing. Our main research question is whether this series of reforms are likely to have had both a disruptive and positive impact in the Spanish public sector management model. We approach the question in the light of three theoretical contexts: the resource ...
State and Nation Making in Latin America and Spain: Volume 3
Neoliberalism is often studied as a political ideology, a government program, and even as a pattern of cultural identities. However, less attention is paid to the specific institutional resources employed by neoliberal administrations, which have resulted in the configuration of a neoliberal state model. This accessible volume compiles original essays on the neoliberal era in Latin America and Spain, exploring subjects such as neoliberal public policies, power strategies, institutional resources, popular support, and social protest. The book focuses on neoliberalism as a state model: a configuration of public power designed to implement radical policy proposals. This is the third volume in the State and Nation Making in Latin America and Spain series, which aims to complete and advance research and knowledge about national states in Latin America and Spain.
What Works in Executive Coaching
This book reviews the full coaching outcome research literature to examine the arguments and evidence behind the use of executive coaching. Erik de Haan presents the definitive guide to what works in coaching and what changes coaching brings about, both for individual coaches and for organisations and commissioners. Accessibly written and based on contemporary quantitative research into coaching effectiveness, this book considers whether we know that coaching works, and, if so, whom it works for, and what it offers to those involved. What Works in Executive Coaching considers the entire body of academic literature on quantitative research in executive and workplace coaching, assessing the significant results and explaining how to apply them. Each chapter contains direct applications to coaching practice and clearly evaluates the evidence, defining what really works in executive coaching. Alongside its companion volume Critical Moments in Executive Coaching, this book is an essential guide to evidence-based effectiveness in coaching. It will be a key text for all coaching practitioners, including those in training.
