Making Government Manageable: Executive Organization and Management in the Twenty-First Century
By Benjamin Ginsberg and Thomas H. Stanton

Like other organizations, federal government agencies can be effective only if they are effectively managed. Yet management is often not considered a top priority within the government. In a new book, Making Government Manageable: Executive Organization and Management in the Twenty-First Century, Johns Hopkins political scientist Benjamin Ginsberg and Washington, D.C., attorney Thomas H. Stanton assemble a distinguished group of authorities from the academic and political worlds to explore how the federal government is organized and managed, and how it might be improved through better management and reorganization.

Also discussed are the roles of private- sector contractors and recent success stories. Among the contributors are Hopkins faculty members Matt Crenson, Dan Guttman, Ronald C. Moe and Barbara Wamsley.

The book is now available from the JHU Press in both hardcover and paperback editions. (May, 320 pages, $45/$18.95)
