Over time, the federal administration has developed into a highly differentiated 'administrative zoo' with a large number of species, questioning the image of a well-ordered German bureaucracy. The article addresses organizational changes among non-ministerial agencies during the past 20 years and ministry-agency relations, drawing on data from a comprehensive survey of the federal administration. The structural changes we observe are neither comprehensive nor planned; they are much more evolutionary than revolutionary, driven by sectoral policies and not by any overall agency policy, supported more by regulatory than by managerial reforms, and most of the changes are horizontal mergers or successions of existing organizations, while we find almost no evidence for hiving-off from ministries to agencies. At the same time, federal agencies report a lot of bureaucratic discretion, whereas they perceive substantial levels of 'red tape' due to administrative regulations. We also find that traditional, hierarchical modes of ministerial oversight are still dominating; only few agencies have performance agreements with measurable goals.}, language = {en} } @article{BouckaertJannMaronetal.2018, author = {Bouckaert, Geert and Jann, Werner and Maron, Fabienne and Ongaro, Edoardo and Sofiane, Sahraoui}, title = {Conclusion: EGPA, EPPA an the Future of Public Administration in Europa}, series = {Public Administration in Europe : The Contribution of EGPA}, journal = {Public Administration in Europe : The Contribution of EGPA}, publisher = {Palgrave Macmillan}, address = {Cham}, isbn = {978-3-319-92855-5}, doi = {https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-319-92856-2_32}, pages = {355 -- 361}, year = {2018}, abstract = {This chapter outlines the strategy of the European Group for Public Administration (EGPA) and reflects on some of its key strengths, and how these may equip the European community of scholars and practitioners of public administration (PA) to contribute to the development of the field.

The natural disaster transcended jurisdictional and organisational boundaries, necessitating a coordinative effort by disaster relief forces and their administrative and political leadership. In the aftermath, politicians and experts praised the improvement of the German system of crisis management, also in direct comparison with the response to the last German "flood of the century" of 2002. This chapter takes a public policy and organisational perspective to analyse the German disaster relief governance throughout all four crisis management phases. By highlighting the central features of the German governance arrangements and the main organisational changes implemented in reaction to the previous flood in 2002, we find that Whole-of-Government approaches are increasingly used by the federal and L{\"a}nder government.}, language = {en} } @article{JannLaegreidVerhoest2007, author = {Jann, Werner and Laegreid, Per and Verhoest, Koen}, title = {Introduction}, issn = {0020-8523}, doi = {10.1177/0020852307081143}, year = {2007}, language = {en} } @article{JannReichard2003, author = {Jann, Werner and Reichard, Christoph}, title = {Evaluating best practice in central government modernization}, isbn = {1-8437-6160-2}, year = {2003}, language = {en} } @article{JannReichard2001, author = {Jann, Werner and Reichard, Christoph}, title = {Best practice in central government modernization}, series = {RIEP : Revista internacional de estudos politicos}, volume = {2001}, journal = {RIEP : Revista internacional de estudos politicos}, number = {Special 9}, editor = {Wollmann, Hellmut}, publisher = {NUSEG}, address = {Rio de Janeiro}, issn = {1516-5973}, pages = {93 -- 111}, year = {2001}, language = {en} }
