This article explores the relationship between social enterprise and a much-longer known set of arrangements generally comprehended as “public enterprise” (or “state-owned enterprise”). It considers the decline in some contexts in the use of, and interest in, public enterprise that reflects the impact of the privatization movement, and the rise of social enterprise as an alternative form—with speculation about cause-and-effect connections between these movements. An exploration of this sort may contribute in the longer term to a better understanding of the place of “public”, “social” and “community” values and structures within the general framework of governance. 相似文献

It is an occupational hazard in the study of organizations that we tend to view them as static arrangements, as though what
is observed and reported today tells us all we need to know about them. But organizations are dynamic rather than static phenomena,
being constantly affected by adjustments to meet the effects of fading past arrangements or approaching new arrangements.
Simple “snapshots” taken at a particular moment in history are never likely to reveal all the relevant nuances. This article
comments on this problem as it affects non-departmental public bodies often described loosely as “agencies”, by (a) drawing
attention to some relevant theoretical contributions to the political science and organization theory literature, and (b)
giving some examples of changes in the style of agency formation and operation over the years, mostly drawn from the Australian
public sector.

This article addresses the impact of the global financial crisis in Australia. Obviously the impact has been varied and complicated,
so that the picture presented can be no more than a sketch seeking to identify some of the main influences and governmental
responses to them. In the event, the impact was relatively light in Australia, with credit accruing to a fairly effective
regulatory system, though serious implementation problems developed. The article also explores the issue of the economic stimulus
strategy more generally, and connections between the crisis experience and related movement in the arena of government-private
sector relations. 相似文献

Small states present particular challenges to designers of political and administrative systems, and far too often their governing patterns have been imposed by former colonial powers. There are nonetheless excellent examples of efforts to design systems which are appropriate to the needs of the small states themselves. This is explored in relation to the pattern of ministries and departments, the use of executive committees, the structure and size of legislatures, head of state/head of government arrangements, and a range of other machinery-of-government issues. Consideration also is given to factors which can be exploited to develop innovative capacity in small states, and some areas for further research are suggested. 相似文献

Public or Private? Public Corporations,Companies and the Decline of the Middle Ground 总被引:1,自引:1,他引:0
In the era of New Public Management in the Anglo-Saxon countries, governments have become infatuated with things private and disparaging of things public. This dramatic attitudinal shift has been reflected in the importation of private sector business method into so much of what government does, and in the championing of privatization in its various forms as a way of reducing the size and importance of public sectors. The change represents a retreat from the more traditional acceptance that a valuable social purpose was served by middle ground structures and activities located in the outer parts of these public sectors, i.e., between the highly politicised cores of government systems and the highly commercialised institutions of private enterprise. In particular, this article argues that the form of the public (or government, statutory or crown) corporation epitomised such social value, and that the state-owned company which is now so often replacing it represents an abandoning of social value. 相似文献

The Rhetoric and Reality of Public-Private Partnerships 总被引:6,自引:1,他引:5
Public-private partnership (or PPP) is now a very-fashionable concept in discourse about public sector management. For many, following a British lead, it focuses on attracting private financing for public projects. However there are several other forms of public-private mix that are also often described as partnerships, and some of them are not nearly so new. This article notes that several nodes of interest have developed to explore these mixes/partnerships, and raises some questions about them. We should consider whether all such mixes can properly be described as partnerships. Also we need to know more about their long history, to investigate the possibility of developing a classificatory system to help us better understand the various forms, and to consider what conditions are necessary for successful mixing or partnering, in particular for protecting the public interest at a time when market forces exercise great power. 相似文献

This article introduces a symposium on the Governance of Small Jurisdictions developed from selected papers first presented at a conference at the Islands and Small States Institute of the University of Malta in November 1999. It notes the important role of the University of Malta in promoting the study of governance in small states, and recognises other leaders in the small and island states study movement including the International Association of Schools and Institutes of Administration which co-hosted the beginning conference.The article then considers the notions of smallness and statehood as generally used in this branch of scholarship, reflects on what small states have in common, introduces the other articles which make up the symposium, and provides a list of some 90 states with populations of under one million sorted into three categories: (i) sovereign states, (ii) states in federations, and (iii) associate states, self-governing territories and self-governing colonies. 相似文献

The connection between “schools” of study focusing on crises and on natural disasters is explored. After considering the rise
of separate schools, the article notes significant attempts to integrate them and suggests that, while natural disasters and
other big crises have much in common, there are still some important differences that need to be taken into account in designing
relevant management systems. Drawing particularly on Australian wildfire experience, the article then looks more briefly at
the question of political leadership in disaster situations, and at serious problems that often occur in the reporting of
those situations.

Classification is important generally as an aid to better understanding of complex phenomena. In the context of public sector understanding and reform, it should have added importance as a guide to policy makers and reformers. There have been some notable efforts to classify public sector organizations, mostly built on interactions between analysts and the reformers themselves. One such mid-20th century exercise postulated a division of public sector organizations into three categories: departments, local governments, and the rest embracing a mass of quasi-autonomous agencies. The developments of the later 20th century, often associated with changing views about the role of the state, have increased the complexity of this third category and have imposed new pressures on our understandings, with the result that there is now a renewed interest in classification issues. 相似文献
