Cette publication met en lumière les enseignements tirés de la mise en œuvre des réformes. L’exercice de suivi porte sur les questions centrales de l’ouverture des marchés et de la capacité du gouvernement à produire une réglementation de qualité. Des chapitres plus détaillés sur les autorités de régulation et le secteur de l’électricité, qui sont fondamentaux pour le développement économique et social du Mexique, complètent l’analyse.
Depuis la fin des années 90, le Mexique a utilisé la politique réglementaire pour accroître la flexibilité et la compétitivité de l’économie au milieu d'une transition politique. L’objectif était d’améliorer l’environnement réglementaire pour les entreprises domestiques et étrangères. Toutefois, de nouvelles avancées dans la réforme de la réglementation peuvent aider le Mexique à développer son potentiel de croissance. Des aspects sectoriels méritent un examen approfondi, afin d’améliorer les perspectives économiques à long terme.
This book takes stock of the past two decades of public sector modernisation in OECD countries. These years have witnessed an influx of new ideas and initiatives but how have these new ideas worked in practice? This report assesses failures and successes and identifies the challenges ahead. It examines certain selected key public management policy levers of reform such as:
- Making government more responsive, transparent and accessible,
- Instilling a performance approache in the public sector,
- Changing accountability and control systems,
- Facilitating reallocation and restructuring,
- Organising and motivating public servants, and
- Integrating a market approach.
This report includes comparable data and tables comparing systems across countries. It aims to help policy makers equip themselves for the future.
“This is a tremendously useful international overview which searches for generalisations, but in a nuanced and contextualised way. I have no hesitation in recommending it.”
--Christopher Pollitt, Professor of Public Management, Centre for Public Management, Erasmus University Rotterdam
“Modernising Government is of immense value to practitioners who want to know what countries are doing to upgrade public management, as well as to scholars who want a conceptual understanding of contemporary reform. It is a highly useful reference for countries that have embraced new public management and countries that have traditional forms of public administration.”
--Allen Schick, Professor of Public Policy, University of Maryland and The Brookings Institution
While China's economy has shown impressive dynamism following the increased reliance on market-based policies, the governance structures themselves will have to be reformed deeply for this growth to be sustainable. This report examines the many challenges of governance which China is facing. In addition to the well-known problems related to the lack of openness in government and intellectual property rights, this book also looks at the delivery of public services, management of state assets, regulatory management, e-government, taxation and public expenditure, fighting corruption, and producing reliable information. Selected policy areas where the insufficient governance reforms have an impact on the policies themselves -- like the financial sector, agriculture, environmental protection, labour market and social protection, education, and competition -- are also discussed.

Managing conflicts of interest in both the public and private sectors has become a major governance issue world-wide. Identifying and resolving specific conflicts of interest can be difficult. This Toolkit focuses on specific techniques, resources and strategies for identifying, managing and preventing conflict-of-interest situations more effectively and increasing integrity in official decision-making which might be compromised by conflicts of interest.
This Toolkit provides non-technical, practical help to enable officials to recognise problematic situations and help them to ensure that integrity and reputation are not compromised. The tools themselves are provided in generic form. They are based on examples of sound conflict-of-interest policy and practice drawn from various OECD member and non-member countries. They have been designed for adaptation to suit countries with different legal and administrative systems.
This review is the first study that undertakes an in-depth analysis of e-government in Norway from a whole-of-government perspective. It looks at the progress to date and the remaining challenges the Norwegian government faces in implementing e-government and provides a detailed analysis of the e-government policy cycle, focusing on the role of the central state as a policy actor. The report also provides proposals for action to improve the delivery of electronic services to citizens, to understand public demand for online services and participation in government, to develop frameworks for monitoring and evaluation of e-government, to respond to agencies’ demands for more central guidance, and to improve co-ordination.
OECD Regions at a Glance presents a series of indicators for OECD countries that will enable policy makers and analysts to evaluate differences in economic performance among regions and to better design and assess regional policies. Organised around three major themes, the book first examines regions' contributions to national growth in population, employment, and the economy. The book then looks at regional disparities in terms of incomes, activity rates and unemployment and regional assets in terms of skills available, productivity, and industrial specialisation. Finally, it presents a series of regional indicators for variables likely to be key to a regions competitiveness including accessibility, education, health resources, safety, and environment.
This review is the first study that undertakes an in-depth analysis of e-government in Mexico from a whole-of-government perspective. Mexico completed the initial phase of setting up and delivering e-government services successfully, but the continuing public demands to improve government have made the country realise the importance of refocusing the strategy to find a way of making e-government improve the overall quality of government. This report analyses and assesses these challenges and provides a set of proposals for action to deal with the most actual and pressing questions of e-government in Mexico. It systematically looks at the structure and context for e-government, the case for e-government, external barriers to e-government, planning and leadership, organisational change, collaboration fostered by e-government, making government more customer-focused through e-government, and monitoring and evaluation. This book includes case studies, a statistical annex, and a bibliography.
Les conflits d'intérêts sont aujourd’hui un thème essentiel du débat de société dans le monde entier. De nouvelles formes de conflits émergent entre les intérêts privés et les missions des agents publics à mesure que le secteur public travaille en liaison plus étroite avec le secteur privé marchand et non marchand et adopte des solutions commerciales inspirées par ce secteur.
A travers une étude comparative générale illustrée par des solutions originales et récentes, ce rapport met en lumière les tendances, les stratégies et les modèles observés dans l’ensemble des pays de l’OCDE. Plusieurs études de cas apportent des précisions sur la mise en œuvre de l’action des autorités publiques dans les différents contextes nationaux et sur les éléments déterminants du cadre juridique et institutionnel. Les pays étudiés sont l’Allemagne, l’Australie, le Canada, les États-Unis, la France, la Nouvelle-Zélande, la Pologne et le Portugal.
Evaluating Public Participation in Policy Making examines the key issues for consideration when evaluating information, consultation and public participation. It looks at theory and practice, and draws heavily upon the insights of experts from OECD countries. Rather than a technical manual for professional evaluators, it offers strategic guidance for policy makers and senior government officials responsible for commissioning and using evaluations of public engagement. It offers concrete examples drawn from current practice in Canada, the Czech Republic, Finland, Italy, Mexico, Norway, Sweden and the UK.
