Kamensky and Morales (IBM Center for The Business of Government and IBM Business Consulting Services) compile 10 chapters that discuss creating a market-based government. Topics include the
role of the government as provider; tools such as outsourcing, public-private partnerships, and vouchers, and how they are applied in 30 countries; competitive sourcing; four case studies of
alternate strategies; internal government services; and regulatory rules. One chapter summarizes the results of a November 2004 forum on approaches at the U. of Maryland’s Center for Public
Policy and Enterprise. Contributors, mostly from the US, work in public policy, public affairs, policy analysis and management, and public administration and policy. No index is provided.
