This paper discusses the agencification phenomena as one of New Public Management (NPM)-based administrative reform initiatives. Thailand, Hong Kong, and Pakistan were chosen because of their similarity on administrative legacy and availability of data. The study uses a review of literature research method, while comparative approach was employed to analyze experiences of agencification in the three selected cases. Research result showed that the three countries implemented agencification in different ways; rational agency model is not the only driver for agencification initiatives; and contextual factor that include traditions, cultures, structures, and values influence the implementation of agencification process as a public sector reform initiative. Policy implications can be drawn by reading the three countries on agencification. Thus, Indonesia, as one of NPM adopters can learn from experience gleaned from the three polities in conducting its administrative reform agenda.

PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to provide insights into the impact of agencification on the process of administrative reorganization in Greece. It is suggested that agencies tend to create a parallel administrative space that operates disjointly or even detached from the central bureaucracy. This hypothesis is tested and elaborated in relation to Greece's centralist administrative tradition.Design/methodology/approachThe analysis identifies the critical junctures of the domestic agencification pattern and seeks to explain its evolution on the basis of historical-cultural factors, rational choice explanations and country-specific variables. The methodology combines quantitative and qualitative research. Along with a review of existing literature, data were collected through semi-structured interviews and the Registry of Entities and Agencies.FindingsThe findings show that agencification never became a coherent policy reform tool, while its outcomes were filtered by the centralist and politicized tradition of the Greek state. The effect of agencification was proved to be highly path-dependent and contingent upon the broader administrative tradition. The agencification policy does not follow a clear direction and has been shaped as a random combination of ad hoc decisions, external pressures and domestic politics.Research limitations/implicationsThe paper provides some generalizations of the agencification experience. However, they do not cover all specificities and particularities of agencies and their applicability varies. Further research could consider these variations.Originality/valueA novelty of this study is that it links the agencification effect with three key aspects of the administrative reform process, namely, decentralization, debureaucratization and depoliticization. In addition, no single study exists regarding agencification in Greece; thus, the paper is the first to provide an overall view of the Greek arm's length bodies.

Full textAbstract:
In the European Union the legislature has, in the past years, established an increasing number of agencies, granting them increasingly important powers. This phenomenon of agencification is legally problematic because it does not have a legal basis in the EU Treaties. In order to better understand the challenges posed by EU agencification, this Article looks at similar agencification processes in two other federal-type polities, the U.S. and Germany. Germany is especially relevant to understanding the vertical (federal) dimension to EU agencification, while the U.S. experience can inform us about the horizontal (separation of powers) dimension. This is done by looking at three distinct issues: The question of the initial establishment of a new body at the EU (federal) level, the extent to which powers can be entrusted to such a body, and the degree to which the decisions adopted by such bodies are judicially scrutinized. The Article concludes that EU agencification poses a greater risk than agencification in Germany or the US because control is partially less well-established (compared to Germany) and because the EU polity is much less mature (compared to the U.S.).

Full textAbstract:
AbstractAlthough governments worldwide are increasingly choosing to deliver services through organisations with greater autonomy than traditional bureaus, the implicit assumption that such agencification contributes to long-run efficiency remains largely untested. Agencification gives agency managers more autonomy and access to incentive mechanisms that lead to greater efficiency if they are not offset by inefficiencies resulting from managerial discretion. We test the hypothesis that agencification improves efficiency by examining the longer-run performance of 13 agencies in the province of Québec, Canada over approximately 10 years. We find that these agencies experienced long-term productivity gains, but that these gains reached a plateau over the time period studied. In addition, we describe changes in several measures of performance. A survey of the managers of these agencies indicates that they perceive agencification as having a substantive impact, but worry about the sustainability of autonomy and their capacity to show continued gains in measured performance over time.

Full textAbstract:
This paper aims at contributing to the discussion on the overall assessment of European agencies and their possible developments. For this purpose, three main questions are tackled: (i) what are the European agencies’ distinguishing features that have emerged and consolidated in the almost two-decade long process of agencification in the EU legal order? (ii) how can such features be assessed and what problems do they raise? (iii) what perspectives can be envisaged in the development of the agencification process? The European agencies’ distinguishing features and the problems that they raise are considered by focusing on the main aspects in which the agencification process can be analysed: namely, the organizational architecture of European agencies; the powers conferred on them; the relationships between European agencies and national administrations; the “global dimension” of the administrative networks coordinated by European agencies; the mechanisms to keep European agencies under control; the legal limits of the establishment of new European agencies (and the Meroni doctrine). As for the possible perspectives of the agencification process in the EU legal order, building upon current institutional debates and recent reform processes, two main possible lines of development are discussed: firstly, a substantial complication of the model, due to the gradual emergence, next to the European agencies of the type consolidated so far, of a “new type” of European agencies, which are independent vis-à-vis the market and EU political institutions, including the Commission; secondly, the expansion of agencification beyond the Commission’s sphere of influence and the establishment of European agencies serving European bodies other than the Commission.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract Introduction: Agencies are among the key contemporary public organizations, prospering within reforms carried out worldwide to increase professionalism and rationalism in public administration (PA). Hence, countries have been establishing agencies and delegating them public tasks in order to achieve expertise-based instead of politically-driven and thus more efficient public policies. In such context, the present article addresses the most important strategic documents related to public administration reform (PAR) in Slovenia, analyzing their goals in terms of agencification and the main implementation results and gaps. Research Design: The research is dedicated to exploring the governmental approach to agencification as a key aspect of PAR. It analyzes (1) the main PAR strategic documents on public agencies in Slovenia since the mid-90s, and (2) the perceived implementation of structural and managerial autonomy as the declared goal of agencification. Combined research methods are applied, including descriptive analysis, regional comparisons, structural interviews among representatives of public agencies and their parent ministries, and selected statistical data analysis. Results: As proven by different research methods, the hypothesis whereby agencification goals in Slovenia are largely achieved as part of PAR documents in terms of autonomous organizational structure was confirmed. A more elaborated agencification in PAR documents relates to higher implementation of autonomy. Conclusion: Nevertheless, the professionalism of Slovenian agencies is still an on-going process, particularly as regards the efficiency implementation gap. As for the future, a more consistent PAR incorporating cross-sectoral policy on agencies is required to pursue the development of a democratic and efficient PA.

Full textAbstract:
Purpose The purpose of this paper is to explore the practices of financial autonomy and control the emerging issue of agencification in the higher education sector. Design/methodology/approach The practices are investigated using case studies from seven semi-autonomous state universities in Indonesia. The data were collected through semi-structured interviews with 17 respondents including university officials, policymakers, and experts. The interview results were analysed using an inductive-deductive approach. Findings This research highlights an unstable balance between financial autonomy and control practices in the universities. Autonomy supports agencification mainly by simplifying financial procedures and control is seen by university managers to be overemphasised compared to in the other state universities. Despite successes in introducing a business-like atmosphere within bureaucratic universities, questions about balancing financial autonomy and control remain. Research limitations/implications The small number of cases implies limited generalisability. The two characteristics used, size and parent ministries do not represent all university variabilities. Practical implications Agencification has become a key reform practice for state universities. Rather than using a “one size fits all” approach, the government needs a repertoire of models for these institutions. Originality/value This study provides empirical evidence of agencification in the higher education sector with an emphasis on the financial dimension of autonomy and control in a developing country setting.

Full textAbstract:
Agencification-the creation of autonomous agencies within the public
service-has been occurring in many jurisdictions. It has usually had a
rationale of improving the way in which government works. Generally,
agencies are expected to provide more flexible, performance-oriented,
responsive public services. The purpose of this work is to examine a
particular example of agencification in the Australian Public Service (APS)
and to compare it analytically with similar occurrences elsewhere.
Specifically, it will examine the splitting of the former Department of Social
Security (DSS) into two separate organisations, a policy department and a
service delivery agency operating under a purchaser-provider arrangement,
Centrelink. It will do this in the context of theories of agencification and of
practical experience of agencification elsewhere. It will analyse why
agencification has happened in this case and what the experience has shown,
focusing on the role, governance, accountability and prospects for the new
arrangements. This, the most prominent and substantial case of
agencification in the Australian government, will be compared with the
agencification experience reported in other jurisdictions-the United
Kingdom and New Zealand. It will address why Centrelink came about,
what the outcome has been of the change in institutional arrangements, and
what the likely future is of the Centrelink arrangements. It will show that,
when examined closely, the mechanisms bringing about agencification have
been diverse. However, there are parallels in the experience. This leads to a
conclusion that the current Centrelink arrangements are not stable in the
long term, and some aspects-such as the purchaser-provider
arrangement - should be set aside.

Full textAbstract:
Governance in the European Union is being transformed through the increased use of agencies to perform a range of functions in a variety of policy areas. The European Commission believes that agencies can add value but admits that their establishment has not been accompanied with a “common understanding” of their roles and purposes. In this thesis, I take the approach that such an understanding is best reached through examination of existing agencies. Focusing on the most common type of agency in the EU, i.e. Community Agencies, this thesis provides a four-level analysis. At the conceptual level, the thesis deals with the ‘agency’ concept. Drawing on public management literature, the empirical level involves classification of these diverse bodies. The contribution of the thesis at the theoretical level is to identify the key driving factors behind agency establishment; following a theoretical framework devised from new institutionalist theories I trace and analyse the establishment process of four case study agencies. The research reveals that to fully understand the establishment of agencies we need to draw on more than one strand of new institutionalism, as they can explain different aspects of agency creation. As a wider outlook the thesis reflects on the role of agencies, relating it to the wider academic debates on the ‘regulatory state’ and its implications for legitimacy.

Full textAbstract:
Trinidad and Tobago is one of 15 small developing states that comprise the regional integration grouping known as the Caribbean Community. Several agencies were recently created outside of the government using a strategy known as agencification to support the implementation of public policy in the Republic of Trinidad and Tobago. However, there is little available information explaining the rationale for the choice of the strategy, no evidence-based scholarly evaluation found on the effectiveness of these types of agencies, and therefore limited information on whether this strategy results in effective public policy. The purpose of this case study was to gain an in-depth understanding of these semi-autonomous agencies in the implementation of public policy in Trinidad and Tobago as part of the Caribbean Community. The central research question sought to explore the successes, failures, and experiences with executive agencies created through agencification. Principal-agent theory provided the theoretical framework for this qualitative case study. Using a purposive sampling strategy, data were acquired through interviews with 10 individuals representing public servants, agency officials, and academics and a review of public documents. The data were inductively coded and then organized across themes. The findings indicated that while the agencification strategy is being utilized with varying levels of success, several barriers and constraints hamper successful policy implementation. Positive social change implications of this study include direct recommendations for greater autonomy for the directorate of all agencies in the Republic of Trinidad and Tobago. These recommendations would serve to facilitate the implementation of the policies that they were created to support.

Full textAbstract:
This research focuses on agencification and quangocratisation (AQ) through a comparison of the experiences of South Korea and the UK. Although a number of studies of AQ have been produced recently, these reforms remain inadequately understood. Since AQ involves the structural disaggregation of administrative units from existing departments, executive agencies and quangos have distinct characteristics which are quite different from ordinary core departments. There are a number of factors which influence these changes; and this thesis explores nine existing theories which are available to explain these phenomena. Case studies are presented of Tate Modern in the UK and the National Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art (MMCA), which are carefully analysed to examine the validity of those nine arguments. Although cultural agencies, which show some unique features, have become increasingly an essential part of the national economy, they have scarcely been researched from the viewpoint of public policy. This thesis endeavours to explore distinctive characteristics of this policy area; and moreover, it examines the diverse variables which have an impact on policy formation and its results through the process of comparison of arguments. The major tasks of this thesis are to investigate the applicability of the nine arguments and to weigh their merits. As a corollary of this comprehensiveness, it examines the whole public sectors of both countries, in order to show the broader picture and to understand the processes of changes and their backgrounds. More profoundly, similarities and differences between both countries are compared from both macro and micro perspectives. At the same time, the results of AQ are analysed through the comparison of outputs or outcomes before and after these changes, with a view to exploring whether their rationales are appropriate. Furthermore, it also examines the institutional constraints which influence not only the change of agencies but also their performances. Besides which, it seeks to find strategies for overcoming these constraints. This thesis adopts systematic and comprehensive approaches regarding basic concepts and data. It draws on theories of comparative research, the scope of the public sector, the classification and analysis of agencies and quangos, and theories underlying the detailed components of each argument and epistemological assumptions. Therefore, it suggests various aspects which enable us to broaden our understanding of the changes within the public sector; and to generate practical understanding to inform real world reform.

Full textAbstract:
The wave of Autonomous Revenue Agencies (ARA) became popular in most Sub Saharan Africa (SSA) states in the early 90s. It has been adopted as a public sector reform instrument to improve the revenue collection capacity of its various host nations. Many countries believe that the adoption of autonomy which is reducing the political control of specialized public institutions will solve corporate and administrative problems and the same time drive efficiency and effectiveness in service delivery to the public. Autonomy of revenue agencies have been at the forefront of this movement since it is the source of revenue for the whole government. Agencification which is the theoretical tool of explaining autonomy can be define as the “transfer of government activities to agency-type organization vertically specialized outside ministerial departments” (Nchukwe & Adejuwon, 2014). Agencification is closely related to the NPM movement and governments across different nationalities and continents have established agencies at arm's length from ministries to handle certain regulatory and administrative functions. The Nigerian state joined the league of nations that reformed the institutional framework of its revenue authority in 2007 by making the Federal Inland Revenue Authority (FIRS) autonomous from the Ministry of Finance. Countries such as Kenya, Ghana, Tanzania, South Africa, Uganda etc. are among some of the countries in Africa that have adopted this institutional revenue model, and each has had its own implementation experience. This research intends to study the experience of Nigeria's Federal Inland Revenue Service (FIRS) which is the nation's revenue authority after it went through its reform and to examine the effects of agencification on the operational capacity of FIRS. The idea is to find out if the autonomy of FIRS has led to improved performance and service delivery. The research mainly used qualitative method through carrying out interviews with officials of the FIRS, who were actively part of the reform implementation. Their experiences can be valuable to test the variables of agencification in FIRS. The research will also adopt other publications on the subject area, government briefs, white papers and policy documents etc. The key findings of the research was despite the whole rationale behind agencification which is to reduce the political control of executive agencies in order to function efficiently and effectively is not an area that FIRS have been able to successfully managed despite the provision of the Establishment Act. The agency responsibility to report to the National Assembly especially on areas of its budget approval and oversight function have been a challenge in the meddling of its autonomy by politicians to meet their personal or group interests. Also managing the internal stakeholders especially, the top management team of the agency will require a lot of managerial dexterity when you consider the occasional resistance to reforms that happens. There is the usual tendency for people to want to maintain how things used to be. This resistance to change is a major challenge to driving reform. Quality of leadership is also very important in driving reforms within an agency. Appointment of the Chief Executive and Board members should not be used as a tool of political patronage or settlement but rather selection of persons who are well trained and positioned to drive change within an organization.

Full textAbstract:
Dans le contexte caractérisé par une administration locale inefficace, peu professionnelle et par la faiblesse de la gouvernance locale, d’une part, et par la problématique d’intégration des politiques sectorielles au niveau territorial d’autre part, le Maroc a fait émerger des agences régionales en tant que nœud d’intégration et de cohérence des politiques publiques locales. Ce contexte constitue le socle de départ de cette recherche doctorale qui porte sur l’agencification comme levier de performance des politiques publiques locales. Pour répondre à cette problématique, cette recherche a été organisée en deux temps. La première partie est tout d’abord consacrée à la caractérisation de l’agence dans le cadre du modèle idéal-typique. La notion de performance publique, dans la mesure où elle apparaît comme étant l’objectif principal de l’action locale, est ensuite caractérisée et opérationnalisée. Enfin, les modalités de mise en œuvre des démarches d’agencification sont décrites pour constituer, au total, un modèle de recherche et des hypothèses faisant le lien, direct et indirect, entre agencification, ses modalités de mise en œuvre et la performance des politiques publiques locales. La seconde partie de cette recherche est, elle, dédiée à la mise en relation de ce modèle de recherche avec un terrain d’étude. Une méthodologie qualitative, à travers une étude de cas de l’agence d’aménagement de la vallée de Bouregreg, est privilégiée. Dans ce cadre, une observation participante a été réalisée pendant cinq années. Les résultats de la recherche mettent notamment en évidence la coexistence des effets positifs et négatifs de l’agencification sur la performance des politiques publiques locales, ainsi que le caractère nécessaire de ses modalités de mise en œuvre (comme le leadership ou les influences contextuelles). Au regard de ces résultats, l’agencification appelle alors différentes améliorations à engager pour accroitre ses effets et impacts non seulement sur les politiques engagées, mais aussi sur les modes de la gouvernance territoriale, marocaine, mais aussi à l’échelle internationaleIn the context of inefficient, unprofessional local administration and weak local governance on the one hand, and the problem of integrating sectoral policies at the territorial level on the other, Morocco has led to the creation of regional agencies as a node for the integration and coherence of local public policies. This context constitutes the starting point for this doctoral research, which focuses on agencification as a lever for the performance of local public policies. To address this issue, this research was organized in two phases. The first part is devoted to the characterization of the agency within the framework of the ideal-typical model. The notion of public performance, insofar as it appears to be the main objective of local action, is then characterized and operationalized. Finally, the modalities for implementing agencification approaches are described to constitute, in all, a research model and hypotheses linking, directly and indirectly, agencification, its modalities of implementation and the performance of local public policies. The second part of this research is focused on linking this research model with a field of study. A qualitative methodology, through a case study of the Bouregreg Valley renewal Agency, is preferred. In this context, a participating observation was carried out over five years. The research results highlight in particular the coexistence of the positive and negative effects of agencification on the performance of local public policies, as well as the need for its implementation modalities (such as leadership or contextual influences). In view of these results, agencification then calls for various improvements to be made to increase its effects and impacts not only on the policies implemented, but also on the modes of territorial and Moroccan governance, as well as at the international level

Full textAbstract:
Magister Educationis - MEdThe purpose of the study is to understand the roles, functions and perceived performance of the Tertiary Education Council (TEC) in higher education governance in Botswana. The study describes the relationship between the government, the TEC and higher education institutions in Botswana. The main objectives of the study are to: a) Examine the roles and functions of the TEC in Botswana’s higher education regarding policy formulation, quality assurance and coordination in the planning and development of tertiary education. b) Explore potential tensions between the roles and functions of the TEC and those of some of its stakeholders. c) Establish the performance of the TEC in relation to the three functions of policy formulation, quality assurance and coordination in the planning and development of tertiary education. The study is located within the broader framework of higher education governance. It examines the different models of higher education governance (such as state control, state interference and state supervision models) and the relationship involved between different stakeholders in governance of higher education. Furthermore, the framework focuses on the implications of the dynamics of higher education governance on the roles and functions of buffer bodies. The study adopted a single case study approach and it was designed to allow for the use of multiple sources of evidence. Data was collected through a review of both institutional and policy documents, semi-structured interviews with eight informants from the TEC and the Ministry of Education and Skills Development, as well as a survey targeting institutional heads of higher education institutions in Botswana. The use of qualitative and quantitative methods of data collection provided useful and in-depth data and allowed for triangulation. The data was analysed both quantitatively and qualitatively. The findings of the study reveal that there are differing conceptions of the TEC’s role in higher education in Botswana. Whereas the TEC sees itself as ‘middleman’ between the government and higher education institutions, the higher education institutions conceptualise the role of the TEC as an extension of government. The differing views on the TEC’s role, as either buffer or agent, result in different expectations of the roles and functions of the TEC. In addition, the study revealed that Botswana’s higher education system is characterised by fragmentation and duplication of roles, which limit the mandate of the TEC, thereby creating tensions between the TEC and other constituencies in the Botswana higher education system. The study thus contributes to the understanding of the roles and functions of the TEC in the governance of higher education in Botswana. It also contributes to the understanding of the relationship between the different stakeholders involved in the governance of higher education and the implications of this relationship on the roles and functions of buffer bodies. Overall, the study shows the complexities involved in the governance of higher education in a young and evolving system of higher education, and in a context in which the roles and functions of the key players are contested and inconsistently understood.

The present study analyses the diffusion of independent regulatory agencies in Brazil, also known as agencification process, in order to verify whether this process was convergent or divergent according to two competing theoretical perspectives. To this end, three mechanisms of diffusion are investigated – political nature, top-down and horizontal – and relevant contextual variables are identified – such as the apparent turmoil between management flexibility and regulation, regulatory federalism, the presence of strongly articulated societal actors and the importance of trade-worthy coalition goods in Brazil‟s multi-party presidentialism that took place in the Brazilian process of agencification. The peculiarities of the Brazilian case, such as the creation of an independent agency for the film industry and the state-level changes that took place indicate the existence of a 'diffusion without convergence', or 'divergent convergence' since, while Brazil has experienced a regulatory agency 'boom', agencies were modeled according to local needs and the specificities of the national context.
O presente trabalho tem como objetivo analisar o processo de difusão das agências reguladoras independentes no Brasil, ou agencificação, com o intuito de verificar se este processo foi convergente ou divergente, de acordo com duas perspectivas teóricas concorrentes que buscam compreender os processos de difusão. Para isso, foram verificados os mecanismos de difusão – natureza política, verticais e horizontais – e identificadas variáveis contextuais relevantes – como a aparente confusão feita entre flexibilidade de gestão e regulação, o federalismo regulatório, a presença de atores setoriais fortemente articulados, e a importância das moedas de troca no presidencialismo multipartidário brasileiro – que atuaram no processo brasileiro de agencificação. As peculiaridades do caso brasileiro, como a criação de uma agência independente para o cinema e as mudanças ocorridas em âmbito estadual, indicam tratar-se de uma 'difusão sem convergência' ou 'convergência divergente', uma vez que, embora o Brasil tenha experimentado uma 'explosão' de agências reguladoras, estas foram modeladas de acordo com as necessidades locais e especificidades do contexto nacional.

Il contributo si propone – attraverso anche l'individuazione di punti di forza e di debolezza, di opportunità e di sfide (c.d. “SWOT Analysis”) – l'esame di una delle principali Agenzie pubbliche (esecutive) italiane, l' “Agenzia delle Entrate”: l'analisi dell'internazionale processo di c.d. “Agencification”, unitamente alla più sensibile dottrina versata nell'argomento, ne costituisce il presupposto teorico e comparato. La considerazione dell'adattamento al contesto italiano della modellistica internazionale (sub specie esecutiva: “structural disaggregation”; “reregulation”; “performance contracting”) e l'esame degli antecedenti storico-istituzionali e giuridici (interni) si palesano importanti linee di ricerca percorse. Lo specifico approfondimento dei profili storici, funzionali, strutturali e comparati – utilizzando lo strumentario euristico della contemporanea Scienza dell'Amministrazione – della recente esperienza istituzionale “Agenzia delle Entrate” mostra una sensibile, ma ancora parziale (specie sotto il profilo della c.d. “reregulation”), attuazione della ricordata modellistica agenziale esecutiva, ed al contempo evidenzia interessanti ipotesi di sviluppo istituzionale, già avvenute od in corso di manifestazione, per un passaggio – nella gestione del fenomeno tributario italiano – da un sistema a “Government” (ovvero verticistico e centralistico-ministeriale) ad un modello a “Governance” (cioè partecipato e qualificato dal principio di “sussidiarietà” istituzionale, verticale ed orizzontale), prima monolivello e stellare (la situazione attuale) e, quindi, multilivello e plurinodale (con l'avvento del c.d. “federalismo fiscale”).The paper proposes - through the identification of strengths and weaknesses, opportunities and threats (so-called “SWOT Analysis”) – the examination of one of the major public (executive) Italian Agencies, the “Agenzia delle Entrate”: the analysis of international process so-called “Agencification”, together with the more sensitive doctrine well-versed in the argument, constitutes the theoretical and compared assumption. The adaptation to the Italian context of international modelling (sub executive specie: “structural disaggregation”, “reregulation” and “performance contracting”) and the exam of the historical-institutional and legal antecedents reveal important covered lines of search. The specific deepening of historical, functional, structural and comparative profiles - using the heuristic tools of contemporary “Science of Administration” – of the recent institutional experience “Agenzia delle Entrate” shows a sensitive, but still partial (especially in terms of s.c. “reregulation”), implementation of the mentioned agencial-executive modeling, and, at the same time, highlights interesting hypothesis of institutional development, already happened or in course of show, toward a transition – managing Italian fiscal phenomenon - from a “Government” system (top - down and centralist - ministerial) to a “Governance” model (participated and qualified by institutional, vertical and horizontal “subsidiarity”), first monolevel and stellar (current situation), therefore, multilevel and networked (with the advent of s.c. “fiscal federalism”).

Full textAbstract:
Chapter 7 offers a large-N study on whether the geographical location of government agencies affects public governance. Two decades of New Public Management have placed agencification high on the agenda of administrative policymakers. Moreover, agencies organized at arm’s length from ministerial departments have sometimes also been located outside of the capital or political centre. Although practitioners tend to assign weight to location as regards political-administrative behaviour, this relationship has been largely ignored by scholars in the field. This chapter shows that agency autonomy, agency influence, and inter-institutional coordination seem to be relatively unaffected by agency site. The chapter also specifies some conditions under which this finding is valid.
