Agency Reform: Tracing a Public Management Fashion -- Theoretical Concepts and Tools: Rhetoric and Culture -- The Trajectories of Official Agency Talk -- Comparing Official Agency Talk: National Styles of Speaking and the Role of Cultural Context? -- The Role of Culturally Flavoured Stories and their National Translation.

Agency reform has become a transnational fashion in public management. Through comparative analysis this book examines and explains the official rhetoric of agency reform across consensus and adversarial political cultures. Grid Group Cultural Theory and the New Rhetoric are used to trace thetrajectory of talk about agency reform in The Netherlands,Sweden and Australia. The empirical findings identify durable nationalstyles of speaking that mediate the agency idea within different political cultures over time. Convergence in talk could only be found when financial actors presented reforms in the consensus cultures. They have spread an individualist management story to these more egalitarian political cultures. The book also examines the nature and causes of change in public management talk and it uses the findings to reflect upon whatcounts as credible public management knowledge.
