title = {Under what conditions are ministers able to “let go” in Westminster-style political systems? Evidence from Ontario, Canada},
year = {2016},
note = {One of the key elements of both the New Public Management and the
emerging Public Governance approach is that ministers have to resist
the urge to manage. They have to let go and allow their managers to
manage and allow deliberative processes involving stakeholders to take
their course, even if the outcome in specific cases might prove
unpopular. This article seeks to understand the conditions under which
governments in a Westminster system are willing to let go and support
autonomous decision-making by public sector agencies, even when the
results are unpopular with the public. Evidence is drawn from the
Canadian province of Ontario in two different policy areas.},
