Reinventing government in the information age
Abstract
In the late 1980s and early 1990s, a new terminology emerged in the public sector. Commentators spoke of revitalising or reengineering the public sector or-most notably-of ‘reinventing government’ (Osborne and Gaebler 1992). However, whilst the terminology and the examples were new, most of the concepts and processes were not since they drew on the longer tradition of public sector reform: ‘Reinvention is only the latest initiative in the enduring cycle of reform’ (Ingraham 1996:454). To understand what is meant by ‘reinventing government’ we must therefore first understand what is meant by public sector reform.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
