Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Most current books on government budgeting focus on thepolicy process for making budget decisions. They also focus almost exclusivelyon the federal budget. The Human Side of Budgeting instead approaches thebudget from a local government management point of view, and makes the casethat traditional budget systems work against almost everything we know aboutgood management (i.e., that most of our employees are not, in fact, lazy andstupid). The Human Side of Budgeting was written both for pre-careerstudents of public management as well as more senior managers who wonder whytheir budgeting systems produce such pathological behavior in their staff andgoverning bodies. "It might sound like an oxymoron to refer to a book aboutbudgeting as engaging, but this one is. The Human Side of Budgeting iswell written and provocative throughout. Lazenby's argument is audaciousenough to cause the optimistic reader to stay with it because it offers analternative to a system that is a continuing source of frustration and for thedoubter to remain engaged because it looks as if there just has to be a catchsomewhere ." Phillip Cooper, author of By Order of the President & Professor, Portland State University Hatfield School of Government "This book makes an important contribution to a criticalpiece of the puzzle for those wanting to move from expenditure-based budgetingto revenue-based budgeting." Douglas Morgan, co-author of Local PublicBudgeting "In creating The Human Side Of Budgeting Scott Lazenby hasprovided us with a book that fits perfectly between tomes on the politics ofpublic budgeting and the texts and handbooks on the mechanics of publicbudgeting. The fact that no one has filled this niche before is as astoundingas it is disheartening." Jim Hough, City Manager Emeritus, Banks, Oregon "I really, really like this!" Phil Keisling, Director,Center for Public Service, Portland State University & former OregonSecretary of State

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Public budgeting structure, process, legal framework and policy with examples from industrialized and developing countries Public Budgeting in Context examines budgeting at all levels of U.S. government—federal, state, and local—and in a sample of governments around the world. The book assesses the context of public budgeting in these governments, especially the legal foundations for its practice and how the process and final budgets are impacted by governance structures, laws, various budget actors and different branches of government. The author presents focused attention on the influences on government budgets of the executive, legislative and judicial branches of government, the bureaucracy, the public and the media. In light of worldwide fiscal malaise, especially during and since the Great Recession, this book illustrates the heightened complexity of the budgeting environment that pervades all governments today—industrialized or developing, large or small. For those who like to dive into the details, the book presents numerous examples of public budgeting as practiced and points to the wealth of data available for analyses of the budgetary context and process, budget shares and results regarding virtually any government of interest. Chapters cover the constitutional and statutory provisions for budgeting in selected governments. Budget and policy agenda setting and executive leadership, legislative budget powers and the influence of the judiciary on modern government budgets are exposed. Budget execution requirements of the bureaucracy, the input of customers, clients and citizens to government budgets, and media influences on public budgets and agencies are highlighted. Budget mechanics—budget types, formats, timelines and reforms—are introduced and compared. Taxes and intergovernmental revenues are considered, with predominant tax choices at every level of government in the United States and those in a select, developing country represented. The book introduces an emerging method for investigating the outcomes of government spending—human rights budget analysis—and includes as an example the assessment of budget reform and results of public health spending in one selected government.
