Policy Instruments and Public Management: Bridging the Gaps
本文指出公共管理与政策工具两个领域的研究长期独立发展，但政策实施离不开管理，管理也应服务于政策目标。文章初步连接两种视角，说明它们相互启发，并有助于理解当代公共部门改革。
The literatures on public management and on the characteristics of policy instruments have developed independently. The two literatures should, however, be related, given that instruments are rarely capable of being effective in implementing policy without adequate management. Further, public management should be understood in the context of achieving policy goals and hence of a relationship to policy. This article makes a preliminary linkage of those two approaches to policy and administration. It demonstrates that each approach helps to illuminate the other and also helps to understand contemporary reforms in the public sector.
