What evaluations have boon done?
There have been surprisingly few independent, broad – scope evaluations of the public management reforms (pollitt 1995, 1998). Those which have been conducted tend to suffer from some fairly fundamental conceptual and methodological limitations (which have sometimes been acknowledged, and on other occasions not). Australia carried out one very large study (Task force on Management Improvement 1992) and New Zealand conducted at two important reviews (Steering Group 1991; Schick 1996). I the US there and various evaluations in train around the NPR, but the main studies were not yet available at the time of writing. However, a series of assessments of the implementation of the Government Performance and Results Act (GPRA) has been produced by General Accounting Office (e.g. General Accounting Office 1998). In the UK, broad scope evaluations have been noticeable by their absence, although there have been a number of more focused assessments of specific reforms (e.g. Employment Service 1994; Next Steps Team 1998, put these were both 'in-house reviews and therefore their independence can be questioned) The Blair government appears to be more committed to the idea that evaluation should be a regular part of the reform process. A few countries have made a deliberate effort systematically to review their reform experiences, using independent evaluators (Holkeri and Summa 1996) but these initiatives have been very much the exception rather than the rule.
