Description
David and George Frederickson have added some real depth to our understanding of the challenges of measuring performance in the public sector. It is about time that someone systematically examined the implications for performance implicit in the development of third-party approaches to governance. With its well-developed theoretical framework and illuminating case studies, Measuring the Performance of the Hollow State will be a welcome and valuable resource for students and practitioners alike. Everyone who is interested in government management-and especially federal management-should read this book. -- Philip G. Joyce, professor of public policy and public administration, The George Washington University
