Governing by Network: The New Shape of the Public Sector

Examining government's transformation from centralized control over public programs to facilitating services through networks of nongovernmental entities

Written by Stephen Goldsmith and William D. Eggers, the book Governing by Network: The New Shape of the Public Sector, examines, for the first time, government's transformation from centralized control over public programs to facilitating services through networks of nongovernmental entities, as seen through the experience of dozens of public innovators.

The article, "Governing by Network: CIOs and the New Public Sector," which appears in the Winter issue of Public CIO, is adapted from the book.

You can see a taped interview with author Goldsmith, led by Patricia McGinnis, president and CEO of the Council for Excellence in Government, at Government Innovators Network.
