Research Project

Success and failure in public governance

This project repeats and extends a mammoth international comparative project published under the same name in 2001, which entailed a comparative evaluation and explanation of the outcomes of critical governance episodes within 4 policy sectors (governance of decline: industry policy; governance of innovation: financial regulation; governance of reform: health care; governance of crisis: HIV/ blood supply) in six countries (edited by Mark Bovens, Paul ‘t Hart and B. Guy Peters).

The original 4x6 comparative project covered the 1970s-1980s, and the current project will reunite largely the same editorial team and international team of 27 researchers to give it a longitudinal comparative edge covering the 1990s/early 2000s. In addition, an Australian off-shoot of the project will be developed, covering the same four governance tasks / policy sectors.
