Do public organizations with similar tasks or structures differ across states with respect totheir autonomy and control? If so, why? By comparing the autonomy, control and internal management of state agencies, this book shows how New Public Management doctrines actually work in three small European states with different politico-administrative regimes. Using a unique set of similar surveydata on 226 state agencies inNorway, Ireland and Flanders, this study explains differences in agency autonomy, control and management by referring to international isomorphic pressures, state-specific politico-administrative regimes and characteristics of agencies. Therefore, organization theory and neo-institutional schools are used to formulate four competing theoretical perspectives and hypotheses are tested through simple and advanced statisticaltechniques. By comparing practices between states and between types ofagencies, this study substantially enhances scientific knowledge aboutwhy public organizations are granted autonomy, why they are controlledin specific ways, and how autonomy affects internal management.
