The Government Performance and Results Act at Age 30

About this book

This book offers a critical examination of the Government Performance and Results Act (GPRA) of 1974, which was hailed as a groundbreaking reform to bring strategic planning and performance measurement to all parts of the federal government.

Government agencies have to publicly explain what they are planning to do and then assess how well they are doing it. It became the part of the Clinton administration's Reinventing Government initiative and has endured through many presidential transitions. But 30 years on, what has its impact been? In this volume, some of the leading experts from around the world assess GPRA and how it has changed government in the United States— and how these changes have affected democracies everywhere.

This book will be of interest to policymakers, public administrators, scholars, and students in the fields of public administration, political science, and public policy.

The chapters in this book were published in the International Journal of Public Administration.
