Whether issues are complex and challenging - climate change, international terrorism, intergenerational poverty- or more straightforward - provision of a single point of entry to government or delivering integrated public services - practitioners and scholars increasingly advocate the use of approaches which require connections across various boundaries, be they organizational, jurisdictional or sectorial.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eGovernments around the world continue to experiment with various approaches but still confront barriers, leading to a general view that there is considerable promise in cross boundary working, but that this is often unfulfilled. This book explores a variety of topics in order to create a rich survey of the international experience of cross-boundary working. The book asks fundamental questions such as: \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eWhat do we mean by the notion of crossing boundaries?\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eWhy has this emerged?\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eWhat does cross boundary working involve?\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eWhat are the critical enablers and barriers?\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eBy scrutinizing these questions, the contributing authors examine: the promise; the barriers; the enablers; the enduring tensions; and the potential solutions to cross-boundary working. As such, this will be an essential read for all those involved with public administration, management and policy.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Janine O'Flynn\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0415678242\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780415678247\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/17\/2013\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 316\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.41lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.30h x 6.20w x 1.00d","brand":"Janine O'Flynn","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48998559842559,"sku":"9780415678247","price":233.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/crossing-boundaries-in-public-management-janine-oflynn-9780415678247","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
