      abstract = {This book provides a stimulating presentation of the  Italian administrative system through an empirical and  critical perspective on the processes of administrative  reform at the national level. It focuses on some of the  most recent changes developed during the years of austerity  and fiscal crisis and offers an updated perspective on the  attempts made by Italian governments to modernize national  public administration through the 'new public management  and 'governance paradigms. These frameworks have been  suggested as models to enhance efficiency, transparency,  accountability and public participation. The book studies  international and supranational influence, policy  diffusion, domestic politics and institutional dynamics,  administrative traditions, and functional explanations--all  determinants of policy outputs and outcomes, and possibly  of policy learning as well. This book is the first to set  out such a comprehensive and up-to-date analysis for  non-Italian readers. Sabrina Cavatorto is Assistant  Professor of Political Science at the Department of Social,  Political and Cognitive Sciences (Dispoc), University of  Siena, Italy. She carries out research in the field of  European governance and public policy, and is particularly  interested in the analysis of public discourse in the  making of policies. She writes on the Europeanization of  Italy, the policy of better regulation and the  Parliamentarisation and politicisation of the European  Union. Antonio La Spina is Professor in the scientific  sector of Sociology of Law, Deviance and Social Change at  the Luiss (Libera Università Internazionale degli Studi  Sociali 'Guido Carli), Rome, Italy. Among other topics, he  writes on corruption, mafia-type organisations, analysis  and evaluation of public policies, regulation, legislative  decisions, development policies for the Mezzogiorno, social  policy, poverty.},
