Jonathan Boston — The State Under Contract
Bridget Williams Books 1995 Paperback, 230pp. One of the most distinctive and controversial features of New Zealand\'s reforms is the emphasis on contractualist modes of governance, including the use of new kinds of contracting within the public sector. These massive reforms raise important questions about the future role of the state. They also raise issues concerning the accountability of public agencies, the ethos of the public service, the proper scope of judicial review, and the appropriate limits to contracting out. Foxing to the page edges; cover sunned. (ISBN: 9780908912711). Good.
