Abstract

A collaboration between scholars and practitioners, Public Policy and Governance Frontiers in New Zealand is designed for both an international and a New Zealand audience, reviewing New Zealand’s impressive public policy and governance performance, identifying both successes and shortcomings, drawing out lessons, and highlighting new challenges. It is an excellent volume with fascinating assessments of New Zealand experience, many highly relevant to practitioners in other nations with different social and institutional contexts but grappling with similar challenges. The collaboration is demonstrated by the two editors. Evan Berman is an American public administration scholar with extensive international experience living and working in Asia (now in Brazil but at Victoria University, Wellington when the book was written). Girol Karacaoglu was formerly Chief Economist in the NZ Treasury and is now also based at Victoria University in Wellington. The book’s preface is by Andrew Kibblewhite, currently Secretary for Justice and formerly the Chief Executive of the Department of Prime Minister and Cabinet. Chapter authors include a wide range of eminent NZ scholars and former senior officials intimately involved in NZ’s reform journey. Following an extensive introduction by the editors, the book is in two parts: the first describes the evolution and impact of public policy while the second reviews public governance. A major strength of the book is the list of references at the end of each chapter, some chapters also listing further reading suggestions, and the cross-referencing between chapters. Much of the book is devoted to exploring the distinct characteristics of New Zealand culture and government practice:
