Guy Government reorganization: a theoretical analysis Reorganization is one of the most common activities of government, but it is not adequately understood, either by practioners or by scholars. This article applies three broad approaches in administrative theory-purposive action, enviromental determinism, and institutionalism - to the study of reform in industralized democracies. Each of these three broad approaches is further divided into a number of more specific approaches. This article evaluates all the available approaches, and ends by arguing in favor of the institional approach. - Reproduced Reform Administrative Reorganisation International Political Science Review 21960 21960 21960 0 0 0 0 IIPA IIPA 2018-07-19 Issue no: 13(2), Apr.92, p.199-217 AR22029 2018-07-19 2018-07-19 AR
