5.0 out of 5 stars Multiple efforts for complicated local public service, May 11, 2000

Shoulong Mao (Beijing, China) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Polycentricity and Local Public Economies: Readings from the Workshop in Political Theory and Policy Analysis (Institutional Analysis) (Paperback)
For so long time, people have though that centralized, unified and developed bureaucratic system is the most useful and efficient institution to produce and provide public service, even local public service. The efforts of Workshop in Political Theory and Policy Analysis at Indiana University tell us that it is definitely wrong. Such system is among the most wasteful and unefficient systems. After so many years empirical research about local police service and metropolitan governance in USA, they strongly argue that over-lapping jurisdiction and polycentric governance are far more efficient than unified and centralized governance. In terms of its som much innovation, I would like to call it as a creative revolution in both theoretical and practical area of local public econoies. The more I would like to say is that this book has been translated into Chinese and the formal publication is forthcoming.
