摘要

摘要本文研究了2011年捷克共和国实施的公共就业服务体制改革。右翼政府通过将社会福利管理和就业服务合并到新成立的捷克共和国劳工局，试图减少这些服务的人员配备和行政费用，并改善地方劳工局的管理。使用“政策惨败”的理论概念，并采取解释的角度来看，我们分析这些组织变化在捷克共和国的公共就业服务的运作。我们的数据包括对捷克共和国劳动力市场政策专家的访谈，以及对参与改革进程的劳工局雇员的两个焦点小组的访谈。我们的结论是，2011年捷克共和国的公共就业服务制度改革可以被称为Bovens和t 'Hart(1998)工作中使用的理论概念意义上的政策惨败。

A policy fiasco: The institutional (non-)reform of Czech public employment services in 2011

Abstract The article deals with an institutional reform of public employment services implemented in the Czech Republic in 2011. By merging social benefits administration with employment services into the newly established Labour Office of the Czech Republic, the right-wing government attempted to reduce the staffing and administrative costs of these services and to improve the governance of local labour offices. Using the theoretical concept of “policy fiasco” and taking an interpretive perspective thereon, we analyse these organisational changes in the functioning of public employment services in the Czech Republic. Our data consist of interviews with experts on labour market policy in the Czech Republic and two focus groups with employees of labour offices who had participated in the reform process. We conclude that the institutional reform of public employment services in the Czech Republic in 2011 can be referred to as a policy fiasco in the sense of the theoretical concept used in the work of Bovens and t’Hart (1998).

期刊介绍： The Central European Journal of Public Policy (CEJPP) is an open-access, multidisciplinary, peer-reviewed journal with primary focus upon analytical, theoretical and methodological articles in the field of public policy. The journal does not have article processing charges (APCs) nor article submission charges. The aim of the CEJPP is to provide academic scholars and professionals in different policy fields with the latest theoretical and methodological advancements in public policy supported by sound empirical research. The CEJPP addresses all topics of public policy including social services and healthcare, environmental protection, education, labour market, immigration, security, public financing and budgeting, administrative reform, performance measurements, governance and others. It attempts to find a balance between description, explanation and evaluation of public policies and encourages a wide range of social science approaches, both qualitative and quantitative. Although the journal focuses primarily upon Central Europe, relevant contributions from other geographical areas are also welcomed in order to enhance public policy research in Central Europe.
