In this issue of the International Review of Administrative Sciences, we are pleased
to publish a paper from Jocelyne Bourgon. She is an outstanding public servant
and has exercised a leadership position for many years, she also did us the honour
of delivering the Braibant Lecture, which was published in this journal in 2006.
In the decade since then, the reforms of the public sector and global issues imping-
ing on public administration and public sector managers have become more com-
plex and often more burdensome. It is timely that Jocelyne Bourgon serves us with
an interesting reappraisal of the points she made during the Braibant lecture, a
reappraisal replete with the experience and wisdom of a ‘real world’ public servant,
able to connect the world of the academic observer with that of the public sector
leaders who have to make and deliver public policy.
