Italy: The Case of the Revenue Agency

Francesco Paolo Cerase

Chapter 11 in Staff Participation and Public Management Reform, 2005, pp 184-198 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract During the 1990s, Italy made remarkable progress in modernizing its governance system (OECD 2001). The reforms embraced changes in the structure of government, administrative procedures and controls and public employment (Bordogna 2003, D’Orta and Talamo 1996). Further changes are now underway with the implementation of the most recent reform laws.’ The major objectives of the latest stage are to introduce new managerial systems and a change in the culture of traditional public bureaucracies by seeking transparency in public undertakings and enhancing public sector efficiency. From being a highly centralized state, Italy has redesigned its constitutional arrangements and is about to devolve major services, including education and police, to regional governments.
