The work frames research and practice around studying public sector organizations to explain how governments deliver services and how effectiveness can be improved. It surveys themes such as autonomy and control, networks, bureaucratic politics, organizational change and leadership, and methodology for analyzing organizations, supported by a cross-country comparison across multiple countries from 1980 to 2005.","The Coordination of Public Sector Organizations Shifting Patterns of Public Management  \nGeert Bouckaert, B. Guy Petersand Koen Verhoest  \nThe Coordination of Public Sector Organizations  \nPublic Sector Organizations  \nEditors: B. Guy Peters, Maurice Falk Professor of Government, Pittsburgh University, USA, and Geert Bouckaert, Professor at the Public Management Institute, Katholieke Universiteit Leuven, Belgium  \nOrganizations are the building blocks of governments. The role of organizations, formal and informal, is most readily apparent in public bureaucracy, but all the institutions of the public sector are composed of organizations, or have some organizational characteristics that affect their performance. Therefore, if scholars want to understand how governments work, a very good place to start is at the level of the organizations involved in delivering services. Likewise, if practitioners want to understand how to be effective in the public sector, they would be welladvised to consider examining the role of organizations and how to make the organizations more effective.  \nThis series will publish research-based books concerned with organizations in the public sector and will cover such issues as: the autonomy of public sector organizations, networks and network analysis; bureaucratic politics; organizational change and leadership; and methodology for studying organizations.  \nTitles include:  \nGeert Bouckaert, B.
