The Art of the State - Culture, Rhetoric and Public Management - Paperback - 2000

Offers a different perspective on public management. In contrast to the widespread claim of the 'modernization gurus' that a new era of global convergence is dawning in public management, this book uses cultural theory to show why ideas about how to manage government are inherently plural and contradictory and likely to remain so.
