Christensen, Tom creator Laegreid, Per text xu| 2007 continuing ng p.1059-066. In this article, the authors discuss "whole-of-government" initiatives as a reaction to the negative effects of New Public Management reforms such as structural devolution, "single-purpose organization," and performance management but also as a reaction to a more insure world. The authors examine what is meant by a "whole-of-government" approach and explore how this concept might be interpreted in analytical terms. The structural approach is contrasted with a cultural perspective and a myth-based perspective. Finally, results, experiences, and lessons from the whole-of-government movement are discussed. - Reproduced. Public administration Public Administration Review 180718
