Description - Quangos by Sandra van Thiel
In many western states, the preference for policy implementation by core government agencies has changed in favour of contracting out, privatization or the creation of quasi-autonomous non-governmental organizations. This study focuses on the proliferation of these so-called quangos. Under the "old" system, governments owned, funded and provided public services through government bureaucracy. In the "new" system, although still paying for these services, governments will no longer provide them. Quangos will be charged with this task, operating at arm's length of the government. The book investigates to what extent there is a trend for "quangocratization" and seeks to explain the increased use in quangos.
