The New Public Governance? sets out to explore this emergent field of research and to present a framework with which to understand it. Divided into five parts, the book examines:
- Theoretical underpinnings of the concept of governance, especially competing perspectives from Europe and the US
- Governance of inter-organizational partnerships and contractual relationships
- Governance of policy networks
- Lessons learned and future directions
Under the steely editorship of Stephen Osborne and with contributions from leading academics including Owen Hughes, John M. Bryson, Don Kettl, Guy Peters and Carsten Greve, this book will be of particular interest to researchers and students of public administration, public management, public policy and public services management.

'This book showcases the best writing on 'public governance', bringing together new research in institutional analysis, policy dynamics, and government-society relationships. It provides a good balance of conceptual insights and empirical analysis grounded in the large changes evident in advanced countries in recent decades.' - Brian Head, University of Queensland, Australia
'This text, edited by Stephen Osborne, may do as much for critical insight to Europe's public service delivery as the David Osborne and Ted Gaebler text on Reinventing Government did for the United States in the 1990s in refocusing the public sector for improvement.' - Dean F. Eitel, DePaul University, USA
