史蒂芬·威尔克斯(Stephen Wilks),《商业企业的政治力量》(The Political Power of Business Corporation)。英国切尔滕纳姆、北安普顿:爱德华·埃尔加出版社,2013年。全书共315页,国际统一书号(ISBN):978-1-84980-731-9。《国际行政评论》的一些读者可能会好奇一本公共管理期刊为什么会评论如此标题的一本书。简言之,这是因为威尔克斯揭示了商业企业在理念、实践、人事、IT、资金以及一般性影响等方面渗透到西方一些主要国家政府的普遍程度。在英国、美国以及其他国家,商业企业已经成为政府治理和公共服务提供的主要参与者。公共管理专业的学生需要理解为什么会如此,并理解商业利益是如何逐渐展开的。
Stephen Wilks, The Political Power of Business Corporation. Cheltenham, UK, Northampton: Edward Elgar Press, 2013. The book a total of 315 pages, ISBN: 978-1-84980-731-9. Some readers of the International Administrative Review may wonder why a book of public administration journals reviews a book so titled. In short, it is because Wilkes revealed the prevalence of commercial enterprises that have infiltrated some major western governments in terms of philosophy, practices, personnel, IT, funding and general impact. In the United Kingdom, the United States and other countries, commercial enterprises have become major players in government governance and provision of public services. Public management majors need to understand why this is so and understand how business interests unfold.
