Next Steps und zwei Schritte zurück? Stereotypen, Executive Agencies und die Politik der Delegation in Gro\britannien

  • Chapter
Agencies in Westeuropa

Auszug

Neben der weitreichenden Privatisierungspolitik gelten die sogenannten „Next Step Agencies“ als eines der markantesten AushÄngeschilder britischer Verwaltungsreformpolitik. Dies gilt nicht nur für die Wahrnehmung dieser Entwicklung „von au\en“, auch britische Beobachter teilen diese Sicht. So stellen Next Step Agencies beispielsweise für Grant Jordan, zumindest auf den ersten Blick, „the most spectacular change“ dar, den die britische Verwaltung im 20. Jahrhundert durchlaufen hat (Jordan 1994: 137). In Ähnlicher Weise betrachtet (2003: 91) das „Next Steps-Projekt“ als Teil eines übergreifenden VerÄnderungstrends, der in den letzten 15 Jahren zu der „... most significant reorganisation of the machinery of central government since the latter part of the nineteenth century ...“ geführt hat.
