摘要：Public management reform is a topic that sparks a growing interest in Romania. After (too) many years when the legalist model has dominated the system, nowadays all the topics related to managerial reform are increasingly being studied. In this context, Edoardo Ongaro’s new book, Public Management Reform and Modernization, is of particularly importance. Although it is available (for the moment) only in English, it is a mandatory reading for anyone interested in this field. The book is a thorough analysis of public management reform in the „Napoleonic” states (France, Greece, Portugal and Spain) and tries to establish patterns of reform and comparisons at this level. Such an approach is extremely difficult and requires both a general understanding of public sector management reform and an analysis capacity specific for the studied countries. Public Management Reform and Modernization focuses on very contemporary topics for the Central and Eastern European countries: public sector reform in the context of a fluctuating political-administrative environment, organizational performance measurement, financial management, human resource management, organizational reforms etc.
