Through up-to-date studies of public services, an outstanding cast of contributors provide in-depth and innovative perspectives on the state of strategic public management in the USA and Europe. Collectively, these compelling case studies offer profound insights into the emergence of strategic management practices and capabilities at both the national and subnational level. Moreover, the individual contributions also investigate the nexus between strategic planning and other public management systems as well as the strategic dimension of networks and partnerships. This volume shows that strategic management, far from being simply a disciplined approach to long-term decisions, has become a central feature of public organizations at large in the USA and Europe. The result is a collection that is essential reading for all students and scholars of public management and administration.
