| Summary, etc. |
The study of public management has remained theoretically limited. This article tests out the value of a multi-theoretical approach as applied to one area of public management research - minister-bureaucrat relationships. Three models are identified - agency theory, bureaucratic politics and institutionalism. All three models are shown to provide valuable insights into the relationship and I argue that this example indicates considerable scope for the further development of multi-theoretical approaches within public management. - Reproduced |
