Innovation Policy in Italy (1993-2002): Understanding the Invention and Persistence of a Public Management Reform
No full textThe literature on the politics of public management reform in Italy broadly contends that the country's legalistic administrative tradition suppresses reform. This article questions and qualifies this line of argument on the basis of a newly reported case of public management reform that endured for more than 10 years. The study tracks and explains the emergence of the policy issue of " government innovation" and its persistence on the specialized policy agenda of the Ministry for Public Administration. The initial emergence of the government innovation policy in Italy and its directional stability is explained by applying event-centric approaches to historical analysis, together with the institutional concept of policy subsystems. The article shows the need for modifying central arguments-both substantive and theoretical-about the politics of public management reform in Italy. © 2010 Wiley Periodicals, Inc
Explaining programmes for change: electronic government policy in Italy (1993-2003)
No full textThis paper examines Electronic Government (E-Government) policy in Italy (1993 – 2003) as an instance of Programme for change, defined as explicit and intentional efforts of central agencies to introduce, spread and sustain government-wide innovative practices.
Literature on both public management reform and on innovation management has left Programmes for change an area that is
under explored. Understanding why they start, how they operate, how they interact with the context - institutions, political actors,
bureaucrats’ behaviour and beliefs - and what role is played by individual policy entrepreneurs needs to be further examined.
This paper addresses these questions by analysing recent experiences of E-Government policy in Italy from an institutional processualist approach. It does so in a country where such a complex Programme came into existence and became a mainstay of the modernization issue despite a tumultuous political context

Public management in international governmental organizations
No full textAfter defining International Governmental Organizations (IGOs) as membership organizations and presenting their classification, the chapter discusses the specific contextual factors they face. Those include ambiguities in the legal backdrop, limited administrative resources for regulatory execution and uncertain political contexts as well as the main trends of international governance that have interested IGOs, such as the shift from hard to soft law, the involvement in multi-stakeholder partnerships and the use of information and indicators to govern through evidence. The scholarly conception of IGOs as International Public Administrations (IPAs) has focused on the administrative apparatus of these bureaucracies and has advanced, among the others, our understanding of their governance arrangements and organizational structure. The final sections of the entry focuses on two pubic management challenges for IGOs. They offer an overview of the peculiarities of staffing and funding and discuss the critical consequences of blending multilateral considerations, such as geographic representation or resource politics, into managerial functions
Paradigm and practice. The Innovative Organization to deal with E-Government
No full textTHE WORK ANALYSES THE RECIPROCAL INFLUENCE BETWEEN ORGANIZATIONAL CHANGE AND THE ADOPTION OF ICTs IN PUBLIC ADMINISTRATION. ICTS CAN NOT WORK WITHOUT A PROPER ORGANIZATIONAL CHANGE BUT, AT THE SAME TIME, ICTs ARE USUALLY ONE OF THE MAIN DRIVERS OF SUCH CHANGE, AS THEY PROVIDE POLITICAL MOMENTUM AND ACT AS CATALYSER OR ENABLER OF CHANGE
