A Brookings Institution Press and Ash Center for Democratic Governance and Innovation publicationThe era of strict topdown stovepiped public management in America is over. The traditional dichotomy between public ownership and privatization is an outdated notion. Public executives have shifted their focus from managing workers and directly providing services to orchestrating networks of public private and nonprofit organizations to deliver those services. Unlocking the Power of Networks employs original sectorspecific analyses to reveal how networked governance achieves previously unthinkable policy goals.Stephen Goldsmith and Donald F. Kettl head a stellar cast of policy practitioners and scholars exploring the potential strategies and best practices of highperformance networks while identifying nextgeneration issues in publicsector network management. They cover the gamut of public policy issues including national security and the book even includes a thoughtprovoking look at how jihadist terrorists use the principles of network management to pursue their goals.Contributors William G.
