Includes bibliographical references (pages 325-357) and index.
"The book focuses on a different set of issues than those commonly found in the emerging work on new public governance (NPG). The chapters are organized around the following central question: What can we do to ensure that the structures and pr5ocesses of authority in networked governance systems are firmly tethered to the underlying core values and legal principles of the political system? The book argues that NPG required public administrators to be much clearer than they have been in the past about the constitutional and political values that provide the framework for their work. Chapters are written by scholars who have been at the forefront of the NPG debate as well as by scholar-practitioners who have spent much of their public service careers operating simultaneously within both vertical and horizontal structures of authority. The chapters provide the reader with "lessons learned from experience" about how networked, contract-based and partnership-centered approaches to government can be undertaken in ways that preserve the values that are at the center of the American constitutional and political system." -- Provided by publisher.
