ABOUT BOOK

After a review of the rival approaches that are used to evaluate public sector ~performance in general, five dimensions of EMB performance are set out which ~are argued to be crucial for achieving democratic ideals in an electoral democracy. ~The aim is to set out these dimensions, and the sources of data that can be ~used by researchers to assess whether they are achieved. The UK and Canada ~are then assessed against the framework so that the utility of the model becomes ~clear. The concepts and framework also act as founding principles for the remainder ~of the book.
