This book investigates the role and effectiveness of strategic
management within public governance in Europe. Using findings
from qualitative studies, it explores the governance processes at
the level of the European Union as a supranational institution,
and the level of national governments. It presents empirical
research that reveals fresh insights into the extent to which the
public, effective government, and desirable societies are
interrelated in individual Member States. Further, it enables the
authors to critically analyse and develop the concept of the
'Strategic State', and to introduce the idea of ‘credible
government’ that lays out a pathway to effective governance. This
book argues for the need to develop more effective multi-level
governance that combines unity of strategic purpose at the
European level with strategic leadership and mobilisation at the
national level. It will appeal to practitioners in addition to
scholars in the fields of public policy, public management and
European Union studies.
