Bereits seit über 20 Jahren sind in einem Großteil der westlichen Industriestaaten – und mittlerweile auch in einigen Entwicklungsländern – Reformen zu beobachten, die darauf abzielen die Leistungsfähigkeit und Transparenz von Staat und Verwaltung zu erhöhen. Im deutschsprachigen Raum sind es in erster Linie die Kommunalverwaltungen, die im Blickpunkt zahlreicher Reformaktivitäten stehen. Iris Saliterer untersucht die zentrale Rolle von Kommunen im Hinblick auf die öffentliche Aufgabenerfüllung und ihre Bedeutung für die Lebensverhältnisse der Bürgerinnen und Bürger. Sie geht der Frage nach, wie gesamtkommunale Ziel- und Erfolgssteuerung effektiver gemacht werden kann und welche kritischen Gestaltungselemente bei der Entwicklung eines solchen Ansatzes zu berücksichtigen sind.

This volume provides a unique insight into the ways local governments have maintained financial resilience in the face of the significant challenges posed by the era of austerity. Taking an international perspective, it provides an enlightening and practical analysis of the different capacities and responses that local governments deploy to cope with financial shocks. Moving beyond traditional approaches dealing with financial stress, the financial resilience perspective reveals a wider range of organisational responses and enables consideration of the dynamic role played by internal and external contextual factors. The international case study approach allows for a comparative analysis of financial resilience in the context of different administrative and policy environments. By providing a unifying view of financial resilience, the importance of building resilience into organisational financial management is demonstrated, uncovering the relative effectiveness of different resilience building approaches. This edited volume is a valuable source for practitioners and academics, as well as students of public policy, public management and financial management.

This book considers how the practical and public policy relevance of research might be increased, and academics and practitioners can better engage to define research agendas and deliver findings relevant to accounting and accountability in the public services. To do so, an international comparative analysis of the research-practice gap in public sector accounting has been undertaken. This involved academic perspectives from over twenty countries, and practitioner perspectives from leading international professional accounting bodies actively involved in the public services arena. It was found that research is valued for informing practice, but engaging at a high level of policy engagement has been primarily by a small group of experienced researchers. For other researchers the impact accomplished may not always be valued highly in the academic community relative to other, more scholarly, activities. The book therefore looks at how engagement and impact between academics and practitioners can be increased.
