SUMMARY OR ABSTRACT
Text of Note
"The Politics of Public Service Bargains seeks to answer these questions. It offers a distinct analytical perspective to account for diverse bargains within systems of executive government. Comparing experiences from different state traditions, this study examines ideas and contemporary developments along three key dimensions of any Public Service Bargain - reward, competency and loyalty, and responsibility."--Jacket.
Text of Note
"The traditional understandings that structure the relationships between public servants and the wider political system are said to have undergone considerable change. But what are these formalized and implicit understandings? What are the key dimensions of such bargains? In what conditions do bargains rise and fall? And has there been a universal and uniform change in these bargains?"
